Ubuntu for EeePC 900

[Gilles Gravier]

OK...

It's running. :) Nicely actually.

I installed it... WiFi worked out of the box. I ran the full updates. 
Then installed Medibuntu... then VLC to play Divx files.

What works...
WiFi works.
Ethernet works.
Audio works (including in Skype).
Compiz works (but when you move a window with a VLC video playing, video 
rectangle doesn't wobble and follows after you let go of the window).
Function keys for SLEEP, LCD BRIGHT

What doesn't work...
Webcam isn't seen... have to look into that one. I might just decide 
that I really want webcam and go back to Xandros... will see... Pluging 
in a generic USB-VC Logitech webcam works.
Function keys for volume don't work.
Audio doesn't survive a sleep / wake of the device

Shutdown needed a small patch.

All in all, it's the Ubuntu experience with GNOME desktop. Very slick. 
Fast enough.

I wish it was complete in terms of support... in particular webcam!
