I do love my little eeepc (asus e701) and I’ve had it for almost a year now. I use it mostly in conference season, and as that is fast approaching I thought the eeepc deserved a little love and attention, so I have installed easy peasy 1.0 (ubuntu 8.01). Whilst it sits and upgrades to ubuntu 9.04 (anything from 3 hours 48 mins to 1 hr 52 mins remaining, your guess is as good as my wifi connection!) I have a few first impressions.

• the system makes lovely use of the limited screen real estate on little eeepc without looking teeny tiny. The layout is clear and (dare I say it) easy to navigate.
• joining our home wireless network took one click and a password.

I am hoping to get a dongle for mobile internet browsing to work with the eeepc so I am hoping I can it working with easy peasy (with a little help from Liam no doubt!).
