There is another EeePC-specific Ubuntu distribution called eeebuntu
(http://www.eeebuntu.org/). I'm running this on an EeePC 1000 and
everything (special keys, web cam, wireless, bluetooth) works. The
distro uses the current Ubuntu repositories, just has a special kernel
with all the EeePC-specific drivers compiled in.
