Apparently when Xandros delivered their version to ASUS that was good enough for them...
Xandros didn't need to. They have something Moblin doesn't right now - applications. At least some anyway. If you then added additional repositories yourself then you were on your own.
...just that I wouldn't assume corporations care as much as about users installing nonbundled apps as you're making them out to be.
1. I don't know why you're talking about corporations.
2. Corporations care just as much about applications as users, because they consist of........users. Organisations install a wide variety of applictions on their desktops every single day.
Also, I think if it hadn't been possible to get Ubuntu or some other distros or even Windows XP on the EeePC it would have failed. Hard.
Well yer, because.........nothing would have ran on it.

I really don't know why people think that "Oh, you just run rpm -....." is a real answer.
