I have both an eee 701 and aspire one 110. I found that the software update
process was always fraud with danger. I used to watch the respective forums
to see whether anyone had dared to upgrade and had encountered any problems.
In the end I wiped both of their original distros and put a mainstream distro
on them. I lost some of the boot speed but at least I get timely updates to
security issues and they are less likely to break my config.

Cheers,
Steve
