A new version of Easy Peasy has just been released amid much anticipation and excitement. This updated Easy Peasy v1.1 is claimed to be the way their first release “really should be”. New features include an all new icon theme, new wallpaper plus a new splash and login screen.
Easy Peasy v1.1 is available to download right now from the Easy Peasy website and offers a fresh new way to use and enjoy your Eee PC. With the built-in features, new visual changes and bug fixes, Easy Peasy will prove to be a real contender for the default Xandros and Windows that is installed by default.

hurrah! this release has been overdue a long time. but i think you should definately give eeebuntu 3.0 a mention when it comes around.
nice to see the blog active again!
What about Jaunty Netbook Remix (which is at least 9.04!).
I just posted an article about the Jaunty Netbook Remix for review. It should be up here tomorrow (assuming it’s acccepted.).
So 1.1 is not based on 9.04? If I wait till tomorrow I might know, but what are the key differences betwean 1.1 and 9.04?
Easy Peasy 1.1 isn’t based on 9.04. But, Ramvi himself said that this release was so they could ‘really get to work’ on Easy Peasy 2.0.
Easy Peasy 1.1 is a customised version of Ubuntu 8.10 for Netbooks. Netbook Remix is an Ubuntu-owned project based on 9.04 with the netbook remix interface, but not much improved hardware support. This is where EasyPeasy comes out on top.
:/ i tried this, but the eee-control app wouldn’t install unless it un-installed the easy peasy meta package
i did, and wierd stuff is happening, so i’m going back to v1.0
If I install Easy-peasy 1.1 now, what is likely to be the procedure for updating as Easy-peasy remixes for later versions of Ubuntu become available? Is it going to be a major reinstall via a CD each time, or an upgrade that can be done online?
