I also used easypeasy in the past, although at the time it was known as Ubuntu Eee.
There are pretty good install instructions here: http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/wiki/index.php5?title=Get_Easy_Peasy but you'll need to get ahold of a flash drive if you don't already have one. You could use the same install process to install the Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix distro when it comes out later this month. I would recommend using Ubuntu over Xandros, especially if you don't have much experience with linux. Tell you what, I'll give the 9.04 beta a go on my EeePC tonight (I've been planning to do this anyway) and I'll let you know how she is.
