So far, the only real problems I've had that I haven't been able to solve with a
quick Wiki/Google/FAQ read or from rote memory, are these two:
1) Aggh, fonts in rxvt and mutt! http://www.restivo.org/misc/ugly-fonts.png
I solved this problem once before, somehow (LOCALE?), when I first set up my other Asus
laptop, but I don't remember how exactly.
2) Suspend to disk works, but sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh does nothing. I've no idea why.
I'd sure like to have RAM sleep working, since suspend-to-disk thrashes the SSD
unnecessarily.
Not too bad. Once I get the above resolved, I'll try the 2.6.26-rt11 kernel and see
how it goes.

If there is room for complaining then that would be:
1) 1024x600 resolution at times is cumbersome as some dialogs/apps by
default have windows that don't allow resizing below ~650 pixels height-wise
(cough, cough, ardour mixer? :-) making it a bit annoying to deal with as
taskbars end-up covering the ok/cancel buttons
I use DebianEEE with Xfce on my EeePC900. You can auto-hide the taskbar
so it pops up when you move the cursor to the bottom. You can do this
with KDE too.
I know it still leaves at least 50px hidden, but it helps. Avidemux has
the same problem.
