Actually, I find WindowsXP to run very well on my netbook. ;-)
Seriously though... yeah I'll +1 #!Crunchbang. It's nice and light

I also have Fedora, Ubuntu UNE and Ubuntu Maverick Desktop installed
as well and boot back and forth. I've had some other things on there
as well just for fun (Puppy once for about an hour, SuSE, etc)
