EasyPeasy vs. Ubuntu Netbook Remix

[Amichai Rotman]

Hey there,

I recently bought myself an Asus 1000HE Netbook.

I am new to the mobile computer concept in general, but not new to computers.

I am trying to find reliable sources for information. The guide that
came with it wasn't very informative and most of the content I saw on
the http://www.eeeusers.com site seems to be old or out of date (at
least on the Wiki...

I want to know what are best practices for battery care and if there's
a limitation on software.

I am know confused regarding the distros mentioned at the subject line:

Initially  I have installed EasyPeasy 1.1, which I liked very much
(especially having the netbook-launcher in the background, which I now
miss)
I then read somewhere that the UNR is better and faster - to me it seems slower.
Also, following a tip on the site's Wiki, I work without the battery,
just the AC, while at home. now I notice a strage surge sensation when
working with the battery and holding the eee in my hand - like it
isn't grounded...

Can any of you point me in the rigaht direction to the answers? Maybe
a specific mailing list?

Thanks!
