As ASUS EEE is available in Croatia stores now, I'll give few tips (and no tricks) for beginners with ASUS EEE in Croatia.

Probably you noticed that you cannot select Croatian keyboard layout. What you need to do is edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and find following line:
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
And change it to (for Croatian keyboard):
Option "XkbLayout" "hr"
Optionally, you can change it to (if you want Croatian letters on AltGr):
Option "XkbLayout" "hr(us)"

If you want to change keyboard layout on the fly, open terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and type following (if you need to change to Croatian layout):
setxkbmap hr
Also, if you want Croatian letters on AltGr, you need to type:
setxkbmap hr us
If you want to switch back to US keyboard layout, type following:
setxkbmap us

If you need Croatian spelling checker for OpenOffice.Org, you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add following lines (as administrator/root):
deb http://ftp.linux.hr/asuseee/xandros/ binary/
deb-src http://ftp.linux.hr/asuseee/xandros/ source/

After that, type this in terminal (in order to install packages):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install myspell-hr
And if you need hyphenation support in OpenOffice.Org, type following:
sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-hyphenation-hr

Now, launch OpenOffice.Org, choose Tools->Options, then Language Settings, and in Languages in section Default language for documents choose Croatian in drop down menu.

You can restart OpenOffice.Org and Spelling checker (as you type) will be enabled by default.

If you want to tweak default ASUS Icewm preferences, copy preferences file from /etc/X11/icewm/ (not /usr/share/icewm!) to .icewm and modify it.

Regarding overclocking and fan control, you can download precompiled module (Note to everyone: this is new version/release - with new and better patch!)
