Well, my EeePC 900A isn't listed as a tested platform, so I expect the wireless card might not work (that seemed to be the prevalent issue for earlier releases of other netbook oriented distros). I partitioned my upgraded 900A for 2 distros, was hoping to run something like this on it. Well, I guess that is why we have "live" versions, right? Worth a download. I'll get the Chrome version simply for the reason that I haven't played with any of Chrome.

The one screenshot I saw shows a tabbed interface, which is rather similar to the Xandros OS which came with my EeePC 900A.

EDIT: yet another distro that conveniently forgets about providing checksums so that we can verify the image is accurate BEFORE we try to run a bad image file.
