Kernel upgrade is not a problem, I just compile it, nor degraded nor
improved the boot time.
Xandros kernel has been just optimized for eee pc and its config
could be used for others kernel versions.

Upgrading Xandros as it would be a debian without breaking

Eee pc is a little bit different from a pc even if it is a pc
basically. I realize people who did not have one have difficult to
imagine how Xandros has been installed in that little piece of tech.
Xandros it is very optimized for eee pc and upgrading Xandros with
debian packages is not a question of source lists only. Eee Pc 701 has
4Gb only and it is divided in two partitions which are merged together
with unionfs. Upgrades increase dramatically the flash consumption
because they do not replace older files which stay in the first
partition but they would be written in second partition.
I have bought a EeePc 900 for a friend. I see it, just some minutes.
I think it worthies the 100 euro more than 701. The screen is bigger
and clear, sound is as good as previous version even speakers are
integrated into the case, CPU is faster and battery is 5800mAh instead
5200mAh, finally the internal flash is 20Gb = 20*10^9 bytes =
18.62Gib. The first partition occupies the whole first 4Gb = 3.73Gib
flash. I did not check the speed of flash but I read some reviews in
which results not fast as the first but quite faster than consumer
HCSD. A good fast 16Gb internal flash worthies at least 60 of 100
euro.
