After the success of Ubuntu 8.04 on my Asus EEE PC it was brought to my attention by Klopus there are interesting happenings going on over at Mandriva. I was directed to a thread on the EEE PC User Forum discussing Mandriva on the EEE PC. After reading through the thread I was convinced I would give Mandriva a try.

Compare this to Ubuntu for example where Eee support is some persons hack which may be broken at any time by some official Ubuntu update which’s totally unaware of Eee related mods.”
