I've got an eeepc 1000H running Ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex) w/ the eeebuntu kernel for better wireless support. Folks running ubuntu on eeepcs should look to the eebuntu kernel packaged fixes. With the cooperation of Ubuntu and Moblin, future releases of Ubuntu should have better support for eeepcs (and other Intel Atom systems) directly.http://moblin.org/
I'm also playing w/ Ubuntu 9.04 Remix for my dad. I'll likely get a new eeepc 1000HE and let him have my 1000H after I load ubuntu 9.04 remix on it for him. I'm testing out ubuntu remix within virtualbox 2.20 and think he'll enjoy the interface (and I'll enjoy the lack of needing to decrap his windows box every time I come to visit :-). http://platonic.techfiz.info/2009/04/26/ubuntu-netbook-on-virtualbox/ http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-904jaunty-and-virtualbox-video-driver-for-xguest-additions.html full disclosure: I work for Intel though not in anything tied to Moblin.
