On the basic eee pc 701 it I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix on an SD card. This appears to work well. The WiFi card was recognised and it was possible to install R, emacs and ess in the same way as with ordinary Ubuntu. I dont expect to break any speed records but R emacs and openoffice do work. Updated Ubuntu is much more up to date al nd more flexible than the original Xandros. Octave, Maxima and Gret also appear to work
