Agreed - I did the same thing (except for the 2GB ram) and it's absolutely fine. The brightness key workaround is a snap (just adjust brightness at the boot screen), and any other problems were readily fixable. Netbooks seem to be ideal platforms for linux - let's hope this catches on.

Right - for some strange reason, CNET's report says that it affects XP and OSX, yet the eEye report specifies that it is Windows-only. I wonder why . . .
