So far Ubuntu NBR 10.10, eeebuntu and Lubuntu (you may detect a theme here :-)) have been tried and am leaning towards lubuntu (as per my son's desktop PC).
Crunchbang or Jolicloud are the way forward for any EEE PCs. Highly recommended by me anyway. Crunchbang for the more advanced linux user and Jolicloud for the lesser.. Both *look* good and perform miles better than the default Xandros rubbish you get! Both well worth trying out..
All I did to get Ubuntu running on my ancient eeePc which has only 2Gb of 'disk' space was to install Ubuntu Server base (i.e. no LAMP stuff etc.) and then added the bits I really needed. Doing this it was quite possible to get a working X GUI (including Firefox) and still have some space to play with.
