Maybe now, nearly two years on. But at the time it was perfectly fine.
It recognised 3g dongles (which many linux distros didn't out of the
box), wifi worked (although I have seen reports of failure here and
there) and had a graphical update tool which could do system updates
_and_ bios updates easily with little fuss. Another benefit Xandros on
the Eee had was the 'reset' which would revert all changes made back
to factory defaults in about 2 mins with no external media required.
I've not seen any Linux distro with that feature.

Cheers,
Al.
