I'm surprised people's expectations of an OS are so low that they accept these hobbled distros. I, for one, have had much of my spare time consumed by friends and associates who want their stock netbook OS replaced with Ubuntu eee or such. That said, until there are hard numbers, all this is conjecture. The distributions offered on netbooks, such as produced by Asus or Acer, are limited to the point of being straight-jackets.

You can read all the reviews at amazon for example and 90% are positive for the linux version. the xandros on eeePC is very very easy and nicely configured. also, its not their main pc. it just gets the job done. also the piece of mind of no viruses, spyware and security features of the linux version are well worth it and an absolute plus for this type of product. i don’t think the return rate is high at all for any version.
