The Xandros that comes with the eeePC is made so that it is simple to use, but I
find that it loses its appeal rapidly. Everything works as advertised, but you
are locked in to their way of doing things and their repositories are so
outdated that it isn't worth adding anyithing new. I switched mine to Advanced
Mode which is just KDE instead of IceWM with tabs. I keep it around because it
does work as you say in all situations. But for fun I have several other distros
on SD cards, including Ubunut 8.04 and 8.10. Both work extremely well, but
hibernation does not work at all and I don't care to fix it because it gets hot
enough that I just want to shut it off after awhile.
