Have no fear, eeeBuntu NBR works perfectly on the 900. I have had one for nearly a year and that is all it has ever run. You won't have room for Windows as well. Put the system on the 4Gb disk and the the home partition on the 16Gb disk if it has the two disks like mine but if it only came with one disk as for the Windows version then use 4Gb of it for system and the rest for home. You should have been given the recovery disk as well so if you don't like things, you can always go back (shudder).
