I updated my Eee PC1000H last night with great luck. It was an extra 
gamble for me as I am far from home and would have had a hard time 
fixing any issues. However, I copied the ISO to an SD card I have and 
booted from it and networking works great out of the box now! This is 
quite the advance over prior versions for Intel Atom based netbooks.

Also, to complicate things further, I was upgrading from an Easy Peasy 
install. A nice fork for netbooks, but still has some growing to do. I 
am happy to be back on a stock Ubuntu install.
