The Xandros distribution that came with it is crap. Contains several programs that are targeted to 6-year-olds, it's difficult to remove or add software (except for a few chosen things) and any upgrade or change saves the previous versions, so one good upgrade completely fills up the 4gb SSD drive.However, I am running Fedora and Ubuntu, each from its own 8GB SD card and using the 4GB SSD for storage. And I LOVE it. Everything works and the software options are good. My first time playing around with any Linux, and I am very happy with both Fedora and Ubuntu. Ubuntu feels faster than Fedora. If you have a 900A, I suggest trying these Linux distros and ditching the Xandros that came with it. I got my 900A in January at Best Buy for $199. The Xandros distribution that came with it is crap.
