I use one myself with LFS, and it works well I have the 701 Asus one 4G, but I would probably choose their 901 if I was buying one as of today, as it's slightly lower power, slightly more battery power, and larger screen. (also, the atom has a 64bit processor, and the virtualization instructions) I like the flash harddrive myself, but I am used to using 4G linux partitions. Not sure if that fits your needs or not Most of the newer ones seem to be migrating ton onboard harddrives instead I think the Asus ones are a bit more expensive then some of the alternatives out there. Acer had one with slightly better specs then mine, and a slightly cheaper price. No clue on quality though. Take a look at http://www.nathancoulson.com/proj_eee.shtml if you want to see some of the tweaks I made to my LFS build. (Getting dated, and most of those external drivers are either intree, or have alternatives now).
