I'm typing this on a EEE 1000 HE that I got from Microbytes.  I'm
running plain Kubuntu 8.10 and only 2 ago I was running the same
distribution on an MSI Wind.  I have absolutely no problem with apps
that are won't fit the screen.  I bond a keyboard shortcut to
"fullscreen" in kwin and that's it.

I have to mention that the keyboard on the 1000 HE is real damn great.
It's sharp and crisp without being too small.  A bit like the
keyboards on thinkpads but even more tactile.
