If you want a Debian-ish installation, I can recommend eeebuntu from
personal experience with the Eee PC 701. It has its share of warts
(relatively slow startup, no fan control without additional packages,
and some limitions on controlling CPU scaling) but it seems
fully-functional.

The 701 seemed like a bit of a toy with Xandros installed. With
eeebuntu, it's almost like a real computer. :)

Has this project come to an end?

Eric,
I happen to own an eeepc 701, which I run under Debian Lenny.
I'd recommend you follow the instructions from the now inactive debian
eeepc project:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC
My netbook works like a charm, except for hibernate. But mine is  a very
primitive incarnate of the eeepc, and as I understand hibernate does
work on the newer versions, which your 10'' screen designates as one.

It's too bad this project hasn't continued through squeeze.
Good luck.
