<p>Apparently the problem is that the updates try to back up the Desktop, but they actually delete everything in it.</p>
<p>This would be exhibit #354 of why Asus are not to be relied on as a software vendor. I'm afraid I can't recommend any alternative OS as being 100% functional, reliable and effortless - personally I installed using eeeXubuntu and converted to Kubuntu, but I've had to faff around with it quite a bit. Drivers, limited storage space, screen real estate, hibernation... lots of things to go not quite right. Mandriva is supposed to be good though, at least it comes with most (all?) of the drivers required out-of-the-box.</p>
