Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y PHoronix has taken a look at several Linux distributions running on the Eee PC 901. "Late last month we published our preview of the ASUS Eee PC 901 and we shared our plans for a number of benchmarks using this netbook with Intel's Atom processor. Following our Linux desktop encryption benchmarks of the ASUS Eee PC 901 and Intel Atom N270 CPU we have a performance comparison of Xandros, Fedora, Ubuntu, and Mandriva on this low-cost netbook PC."

inspired to install Ubuntu

I have the older 701 eee and I just got the 1000 H eee. The 1000 came with XP preinstalled. I have Ubuntu on the 701. I was looking for a good reason to try Ubuntu on the 1000 H. The performance with the Atom CPU looks great with Ubuntu running. I ended up getting the 1000 H since the eee was slow running XP and the mini keyboard was frustrating me. Any suggestions about what one can do with an older 701?
