My wife wanted it more than I did. That's the good thing about listening to the tech show in front of the wife. She gets to here all they guys talk about how great netbooks are!

I pulled down the eeebuntu netbook release and used the isotostick.sh script to copy the iso over to a flash card. I then booted from the flash card and installed ubuntu onto the internal flash on the eeePC.
