EasyPeasy was voorheen bekend als Ubuntu Eee, maar is van naam veranderd nadat Canonical op zijn trademark-strepen is gaan staan. Deze Linux-distributie richt zich op netbooks, zoals de Asus Eee PC, Acer Aspire One en Dell Inspiron Mini 9. De ontwikkelaars hebben aan het begin van deze maand EasyPeasy 1.6 bèta 1 uitgebracht, waarbij de verwachting is dat de stabiele versie aan het eind van deze maand volgt. De bijbehorende aankondiging luidt als volgt:

- On video hardware that supports KMS, the live CD sometimes does not reboot successfully, instead displaying the boot logo indefinitely. To work around this, you will need to power down the system manually. Investigation of this issue is ongoing. As a workaround, users can boot from a USB stick instead of from a CD. (506418)
