@Jasey,

Many of us do not mind an occasional patch to get our hardware working;
however with the number of kernel/ubuntu-restricted-modules updates
going on, and the having to re-patch afterwards, this is just a headache
and causes a major issue with usability. I'm fed up with the repatching
myself...

@John McCourt,

Mandriva 2008.1 works with the eeePC out of the box. Be good to your
Solid State Disk's lifespan and try to avoid Windows...

I'd like to have working wireless in hardy, without having to patch/compile manually :)
