Ok, handy. I hadn't found the biffsocko page, but it is specific to the HD version. The other ones concern the SSD version. If Ubuntu works then pretty much any derivative will (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Mepis, ad nauseum).
Unfortunately, IMHO the Asus keyboard sucks rocks, and so does the touchpad. The Acer has a better keyboard and a Synaptics touchpad, so that's all good.
