On the Linux laptop the bundle is all

The bundle is all only if the package is bad

A properly packaged Linux system should make installing programs child's play. Though I own an Eee, mine came with Windows and I installed Kubuntu, so I don't know what the Xandros package looks like or how it would allow you to install a new program. But with Kubuntu it's just a matter of finding a program on a searchable list and making a few clicks (plus making sure you have a live internet connection, which you've already done). If you can't do that with the Eee's Xandros installation, then there's a problem with the package.

Just the fact that it took you 20 minutes to get a wireless connection confirms that the package is flawed. For Ubuntu and its many flavors it should not take more than three minutes, and that's giving you the first two minutes to figure out there's an active tray icon to help you out (NetworkManager).
