Eee PC apps

[Matt Middleton]

I believe these issues have been addressed with more recent releases,  
as well as  security updates.  Incidentally, reinstalling might be  
more drastic than needed - I found some great ways to mod the existing  
install at wiki.eeeuser.com.  I've used a couple of them to tweak  
mine, and it hasn't steered me wrong yet.
