The Asus Eee PC comes pre-installed with Xandros Linux, which has some functional and usability gaps compared to Ubuntu. Installing Windows XP on the Asus Eee PC can also be a bit of a strain on the device. Perhaps the newly released Ubuntu Eee 8.04 could be a very suitable choice. Ubuntu Eee 8.04 is a version based on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron), inheriting many of its advantages. Additionally, it has added and removed some applications to better suit the Asus Eee PC.
