It's a very bizarre feeling to have a Linux machine over which I have less control than Windows. Also, the fact that ASUS's "software" source is 99% links to random unrelated websites pisses me off. I love my "kneetop", as I call it, but I really want to grab someone at ASUS by the throat and shake hard.

Do yourself a favor and banish the EEEXandros thing from your computer. Some flavor of Ubuntu or tne new Jolicloud distro should fulfill your needs much better than the horrible toy-OS preinstalled with eee.
