So put Debian or Ubuntu on it. Since Noodles debiansied my EEE, it's actually usable!
This is the one with the small HDD, so a full Lenny is rather over the top. Sa soon as the Acer (which is Debianised) is populated with what I want on it, the Eee will get Wumpussed.
I'm now wondering how small a "small HDD" is. But then, I have a 1G / partition, 45M /boot and currently a staggering 5.8G in /usr and 2.5G in /var (I have a feeling that I've installed lots of crap that I don't want on this 'ere laptop again!)... so, you can get a very comfortable system in 10G. I'm sure that I used to be running this at well under 2G for OS...
My EEE has a 4G SSD and a 16G SSD. /home is on the 16G, everything else (a fairly standard Debian squeeze install) is on the 4G. I'm pretty sure some of the original EEEs only came with 4G, but I'd still consider that enough for Debian.
