Yup 64-bit flash has been around for a while. It's been available on Linux longer than it has Windows.
CPU usage is still worse than windows I think, then again I think that's more an IE vs other browsers thing than an OS thing.
Fullscreen video playback is still a bit choppy at times, however.

Hmm didn't know that thought there was only the alpha flash plugin. How long has the full version been around?
On my laptop, about 40%, on the nb, 100%, the nb skips around some, but what else would you expect from i945GME?
And yes, there's a native amd64 flash plugin now.
I'd like to try an ION nb like the Sammy NC510, to see if VDPAU does anything to take the load off Atom (as an IGP should).

Society's to blame,
Or possibly Atari.
I did have the "old kernel" issue when I upgraded one of my boxes, but I instinctively ran grub-install and it fixed it.
Can't say I've had any of the other issues.

What version number is the new kernel?
2.6.31-14

I'm using the Netbook remix on my EEE PC 1000H and liking it very much at the moment.
Edit:
I think I had the encryption problem but put it down to general ignorance/noobiness on my part.

I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts about this - i might even try a live image myself. Is the interface the same??

Kubuntu Netbook:
I booted it in a VM to give it a try and while it seems like a great OS it's a bit confusing IMO - firstly it took me a while to find that Dolphin is hidden under System which could be a bit of a pain for a first-time user and when you minimise apps they just disappear, no icon for them or anything and although it says x running apps in the top right clicking it does nothing so the only way I could get them back up is with Alt+Tab. It is a first attempt at a Netbook OS by Kubuntu though but even so I would have though these were easily noticeable problems...

I am trying Ubuntu NBR on my Acer Aspire One and it crashes frequently! Does not seem very fast either. I might have to switch to Windows 7 HP!
Am surprised to hear this - what sort of AA1 do you have?
Mine is an A150 model i think (specs are Atom N270, 512MB RAM + 1 GB RAM i added, 120GB hard drive).
Mine doesnt crash at all.

Same model, same RAM upgrade. Have you tried sleep/hibernate? Crashed first time I tested the IM software too - couldn't kill the process (not sure how to load the equivalent of task manager), had to hold power button.
I will try it with Windows 7 as I am not sure that this is stable yet. I am not a complete linux noob... I do like/use ubuntu often - server version though... things work so well when there is no gui
Yeah, just tested Kubuntu NBR, it's really not there yet (and it says as much when the installer starts). I couldn't really use this seriously. UNBR is much more polished off.
Kubuntu itself, however, works rather well. The default theme could be a bit nicer (hard to see some tasktray icons over the backdrop).

I gave moblin remix a spin as well, while nice and shiny looking, I didn't find it particularly pleasant to use. I think UNBR will stay on my netbook for the time being. Kubuntu has some samba quirks, so it'll be back to plain ole Gnome on the laptop as well. Tis a shame.
