Myself very happy with my EasyPeasy eeePC 1000 find it surprising that some people have had trouble with EasyPeasy (other than with the name). I think I installed it when it had only been available as EasyPeasy for about 2 weeks and I have had no trouble other than taking a while to get the BT mouse going right. (the advice here helped with that http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-508847.html) Perhaps wiping the HD first, instead of just doing the upgrade, does not help. If you just follow the directions and do it the easy(peasy) way, maybe you're OK.
