I recently bought myself a ASUS EEE 1000HE and I intend to use it for note-taking and light browsing at the University. The machine has a 10" screen so the interface needs to be very compact.

I've already tried:

  • EEEbuntu: Very nice driver support and out of the box experience. But I feel that it is too slow booting and the general experience is too heavy in my opinion.
  • Moblin 2: Looks very cool, boots just fine but is way too unstable to use. Also find it annoying that I can't find hotkey documentation anywhere.

Any Netbook OS recommendation welcome (although those specific to my model would be great).

There is an entire jungle of distributions out there, so if you've been on a safari, please share your experience.
