Want security updates for ASUS eee pc - install another operating system

I've loaded Ubuntu 7.10 on my Asus EEE pc, I did not wait for Asus to put security updates on their repository.

At FOSDEM a chap who had Debian Etch on his knew what vulnerabilities there were in the stock Asus install - even though his machine had Debian on it within 1 hour of being out of the box.

Also at FOSDEM the CentOS guys discovered that a standard CentOS network install does not have a driver for the built in network card.

Ubuntu it is for now...
