Ubuntu Mobile is targeting Intel MIDs for the moment, but the eeePC is so close to it in spirit that UME could be a very nice alternative to the default Xandros shipped by Asus.

The machine is really cheap and it seems popular. It doesn't have a touchscreen though.

Ubuntu works on the eee, but people report various hzrdware problems (not tried myself yet).

Ubuntu could provide useful configuration for people in various places, in the form of specific packages.

For example a package called "ubuntu-l10n-france" could
- add bookmarks to the default firefox profile for official administrations (taxes, employment etc) and maybe major newspapers
- depend on additional packages (ex : you need java and libnss-dev to declare your income to the administration)
- maybe add major net radios to Rythmebox default configuration
- etc

The installer could propose such package to be installed as an option
