My wife has been running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.10 on her 8 GB EeePC model from a couple years ago & she is very happy with it. I don't think she has had many frustrations with it other then learning where something is. But you would need to do that going from one version of Windows to the other anyways. Previously she ran the standard Xandros.

I have Eeebuntu 3.0 (running xfce) on my 4GB EeePC & I enjoy it also. The only I find frustrating with mine is the lack of space on the device so it limits some stuff I can do.

I plan to set up a dual boot with a Linux distro.  But which one?  My
first instinct is to go with Debian, which is what I have on my desktop
and I really like.  But many people, in CLUG and elsewhere, seem to
favour ubuntu, especially for laptops.   Any suggestions?
