I bought a Asus 1000h netbook 2nd hand from a student and installed immediately linux on it. I chose Easy Peasy (version 1.1) which is an ubuntu based distribution. After some days of use I can say that most things just work out of the box as you would expect from a distribution for netbooks. One annoying issue I encountered several times is that the sound stops working. First it seemed quite randomly but then I found out that if Skype is running no other application can use the sound card. I tried listening to my favorite internet radio station lounge.fm, watching streams from the local TV broadcasters webpage (ORF) or just recording my voice with the preinstalled voice recorder. Maybe an update will solve this problem ... I'll keep you updated!
