Today I got some spare time and have OS 2008.05 installed on my EeePC 900. Several key points:
(1) keyboard did not work originally, but after add the "-v" option to the grub menu (the kernel line, not the other lines) it worked. (2) Wireless did not work originally, but after installing the driver from http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/ath/ it worked. (3) Wired NIC is not working yet. (4) Audio is not working yet. (5) Projector works! When I connect a SONY projector to the EeePC, it just worked. The laptop side got a trim-off screen (the lower part was cut off), but the projector side got 1024x768! So, I can do presentations with the cute machine now. (6) Got OpenOffice 2.4 working via IPS. The slide show is actually very nice. (7) The SD slot works. I put a 16-GB SD card into the slot, then a "NO NAME" drive appeared on the desktop. Now I have a base system of 15 G, and a storage of another 16 G of storage. So, this is actually a very nice system to carry around. I did not have enough time to test its battery life with OS 2008.05. Will do that when I have the opportunity. -- ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._ Qingye Jiang (John) `6_ 6 ) `-.
