Linux on Asus Eee PC

Earlier this week, I got an Asus Eee PC 900. It came with Windows XP Home installed, which I obviously didn't want to use.
So, I downloaded what used to be called Ubuntu Eee, but now has the rather silly name "Easy Peasy".
The name may be silly, the project certainly is not.
Installing it was a breeze (overwriting the useless XP Home), and everything worked right out of the box, including the wireless network and the webcam. Even suspend and hibernate work flawlessly. I used to have problems with Linux hibernate on my dual-boot laptop, but here, no issues at all.
I must say, I am impressed. Now taking all the Windows stickers off the case...
