Well, I got my wet weekend, so I’m writing this on my Eee PC 701 with Ubuntu replaced by Eeebuntu, a derivative of Ubuntu specially tailored for Eees. So how much of an improvement is it? more here

However,there are a couple of interesting toys – there’s a little ‘Eee PC Tray’ which allows you to switch modes between Power Saver / Reduced Performance / Super High Performance – I’ve not really played with these, so I can’t comment. It also allows you to other things (see the screenshot) like rotate the screen in steps of 90 degrees (why?).
