Hardware, Embedded Systems The Acer Aspire reviews were getting a little old, so instead of adding yet another anectode of the popular netbook, I thought I'd shake things up a little by giving my view of Asus' slightly more expensive (but worth the extra money) EeePC 1000 HE for the enjoyment of all.

For Ubuntu you just need EeePC ACPI Utilities. It'll take care of your CPU, FSB, Fan, all the extra keys, and it'll turn your hardware on and off (WIFI, Bluetooth, etc)

Thanks, will check this out. My battery life is good, but a little extra never hurts.

Ok, I've had a look at the eeepc-acpi-utilities and the eee-tray applet. This is awesome, exactly what I'd been googling for for quite a while and hadn't found. I could control all this from the command-line and had manually scripted some of the ACPI hotkeys, but this is so much more convenient. Much better than the old eee-applet that doesn't really work anymore.
