EEE PC

So recently my roommate ordered an ASUS EEE PC, because he was impatient and did not receive shipping notification he went ahead and ordered another one from a different distributor. Soon after he realized that both would be arriving on the same day. I was on the fence about owning one, but I took this as a sign to go ahead and buy one. Finally, they both arrived and it was immediately apparent that a different OS needed to be installed. Ubuntu was the obvious choice, but as usual there were some driver problems, one of them being wireless.
