I think what you read was "would you recommend the EeePC for ordinary desktop use." What I meant was "would you recommend I install Xandros on a full size PC for ordinary desktop use?" I of course understand that all the disclaimers about Linux != Windows, don't expect proprietary software to work, yadda yadda. As an Ubuntu user, do you find Xandros, independent of the hardware, to also be enjoyable? Or is it just particularly well suited to the Eee? I think maybe I misspoke.

If you have particularly bad eye sight, extremely fat fingers, and the need to play video games and to do graphics and video editing, then, no.

I'm happy with Ubuntu, but I'm always looking to try something new and interesting. With your experience with Xandros on the EeePC, would you recommend it for ordinary desktop use?

The only difference, I guess, is that I don't blame the Ubuntu developers or say Ubuntu isn't ready for the desktop. I'm curious, too, as to how Intrepid Ibex works out on the Eee. Yeah.
