I ran up Pupeee [1] on my daughter's 701 the other day and was very
impressed. It's essentially Puppy 4.2 optimised for Eee PCs. I currently
run it off a USB stick and have no intention of installing it to the SSD
(the machine is on loan from school), but it still performs well
despite that. The download is tiny and can be installed to a USB stick
on any machine with a CD/DVD, and subsequently run or installed on an
Eee PC machine.
Worth a look, although I have not had a chance to compare it to the
Ubuntu Netbook build.
