Yes, but at last check eeebuntu does not have a signed repository. The
developers apparently don't understand the need for one, or why one
should care about having authenticated debs.

If you care about security at all, I'd really recommend avoiding
eeebuntu for the time being. The latest Fedora installs flawlessly on my
8GB Eee 702, and the Ubuntu netbook remix works reasonably well but
currently has poor support for the graphics chip on my model
(characterized by jerky performance in X).

Like all distros, your mileage may vary.
