Some distros SEEMS to work with this wlan card but sooner or later they just cut off the connection or give much trouble with the wireless connection. if i knew that getting my wireless to work would be so difficult i would bought another laptop :-) Great job from the easy-peasy community!!! p.s. Ubuntu 8.10 also works fine with the backports ath5k driver on acer 5315. greetings, Jan.

It came with the <a href="http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/nbr" title="Canonical: Ubuntu Netbook Remix" rel="nofollow"> Ubuntu Netbook Remix</a> pre-installed, which I found hard to get up and running on vanilla Ubuntu. the remix takes a little getting used to, but I find it to be a great real estate saver on the eeePC's 1024x768 screen. In addition, the kernel is tweaked for more energy efficiency. What I'm not too happy with is their choice of pre-installed software and their tweaks to /etc/apt/sources.list, with some preference for non-free software such as Skype or Google's Picasa.

That's probably what I would go with anyway. Personally I think Xubuntu would work fine. That’s probably what I would go with anyway.
