Xubuntu for the EEE PC

Thanks to Kamotegirl, I learned that there is a Xubuntu release made for the Asus EEE PC. Aint’ that cool or what? And this is where you download it: eeexubuntu-7.10.2-desktop-i386.iso

While Ubuntu worked reasonably well on the EeePC before, there were plenty of additional steps necessary to get WiFi working as well as reducing the number of writes to the slightly fragile Solid State Drive. Along with these fixes eeeXubuntu also makes it much easier to install Xubuntu from a USB drive rather than an external CD-ROM drive.

So, what do you think? You’d be downloading it as soon as you can? :D Probably should burn a copy of that and test it in a shop given the chance.
