- TweakEEE (a program that is installed to the Settings tab and allows you to modify the Easy Mode user interface)

This means I can install and access programs such as Frostwire and the GIMP quickly and easily using Synaptic Package Manager:
How have YOU modified your eee? Are you pleased with the results?:p
