Had a really good experience installing Ubuntu ("Easy Peasy") on the EEE 701 from a flash drive.

I think the version is still Intrepid, not Jaunty.

Its amazing what people have done with Ubuntu.

My experience with it has really impressed me.

There is a [free] CNC machine control version that lets you connect your CNC mill or lathe controller to the printer port [or other IO card] and and carve out shapes under high precision computer control.

Those EEE computers are kinda neat too!
