To answer the last question first: it is the final version, not a beta (although I foresee that some (inherent) bugs will still have to be ironed out in the next weeks or so).
And instead of the EEE version of 8.10, I suggest you install the full (K)(X)Ubuntu and add Adamm's kernel packages for Ubuntu 8.10, which add support for all the problematic devices on the EEE (on top of this they also remove some kernel modules not needed on the EEE, resulting in much shorter boot times).
Here is the link where you can read more about the needed packages: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=46649
I second that!
I keep hearing people complaining about bugs in Ubuntu, bugs which have been fixed eons ago or that were not there in the first place in Kubuntu (KDE).
Hooray for Kubuntu and KDE!
