I've been using mine in Advanced Mode for about a month, and I love it. I've used Ubuntu in the past, but Xandros is very easy to warm up to. It's my first experience with KDE, and I dare say I'm enjoying it more than Gnome. If you have a desire to play around with your Eee and you're looking for ideas, I've been keeping track of all my Eee adventures on my blog. Feel free to take a look!

I'm still greatly impressed. I replied to the comment you left on my site, with a link to an openSUSE article. That article has a link to a zipped file which is a flash drive boot image for the EEE. I don't have the bandwidth to download the 700 odd mb, but if you don't have a dvd rom it might be an option. Great blog btw :D Here’s the stats:

Its quick too, although a little bit bulky. If you want I can post the boot and shutdown times, but just from memory boot into KDE is probably less than a minute and shutdown is about 30 seconds, but these are guesses. Running openSUSE allows you to take advantage of the one-click install, which I love! You can very easily install openSUSE on the eee!
