Yes, that is the better to use the OS from the vendor.
As far as I know, eee PC linux is customized .

  My answer to this question would be: If you simply want to use your
  netbook, you're likely better off using the OS the HW vendor supplies.

 Some netbooks seem to be better than others.  I have a Acer Aspire One
 here that works fine under F11.  The wifi works fine as does
 NetworkManager once one gets around the bug that many of the config
 screens have the bottoms cut off and one needs to use and larger
 external LCD to setup the thing.

 This machine isn't for me.  I simply can't use those small keyboards.
 Gimme 19mm key spacing or some environment where I never have to use the
 keyboard.
