Where are Linux distros for Eee?

Filed under: life, linux

I’m disappointed by choice of Linux distributions for my EeePc (called pingu). I installed Ubuntu EEE there which works, however, because of specifically built kernel, i cannot find/compile modules for VirtualBox which i really need. It looks like main stream distributions are Mandriva (which is supposed to work, but i personally don’t like it), EeeDora & Ubuntu EEE. There are a lot of smaller distros which all work partly on the Eee and require tweaking in order to make them usuable.
While i use ArchLinux at home, it’s too much work to install it on the Eee and maintain it working, i’d like to have something more stable and less attention requiring.

I do not intend to whine about open source software quality and choice, because i very much appreciate the choice, freedom of it and free time that a lot of people devte to it. I’m looking for advice.
What are you using on your Eee ;) ?

Update: ubuntu eee (temporary name) 8.10 will be released 1.1.09. Extremely exciting news!
