Well I just finished installing eeebuntu on the Mrs' EEE-PC 901, it works incredibly well; WPA2 worked out of the box, 3g connection through her Nokia 3110, Compiz and its flashyness, and the Kernal was installed correctly.

She didn't like the macosx style dock but got rid of it and runs the standard eeebuntu gnome desktop, it is good to have all the same apps she has on her main laptop. 4gb / 16gb /home I saw things that said it is best to avoid a swap to reduce ware on the sd/ssd.
