I bought a black Eee PC 901 with Linux. The 901 has an Intel Atom processor, 1 GB of RAM, a 20 GB SSD, and a 9 inch LCD. So far, I’ve been very impressed with it, except for the default Xandros-based Linux distribution.
To give you an idea of how bad it is - inserting an SD card causes it to be mounted as /media/D: to emulate Windows’ drive letters. A Linux distribution that unnecessarily Windows-like? No thanks. There’s also next to nothing available in the package manager and so far no client for Asus’ CNR-based software site. If you want to use the Eee as more than an internet appliance, you’ll likely want a different Linux distro.
