I would just to drop a few comments on using Fedora 10 on my little Asus 701.
I'm impressed how well installation went and how it work nice in fullscreen on eee's small 7" screen.
I've got it installed on one of the 900a's from Target - it's a tight fit with the 4GB drive, but it's there. One weird quirk was that I got partitioning errors during the install if I had anything but the original 512MB stick of RAM in it, Fedora WOULD NOT install with the 2GB stick I got for it in. I could get the eee spin of Ubuntu to install (even if the grub.conf was crack, it insists on telling it to boot from the wrong drive), and I could get the eee restore disk to work with 2GB of RAM, but not Fedora. Other than that I've got it pared down to pretty much the basics of what I want and it's got about 400MB left. I'm using the LXDE window manager and I like it enough that I'm using it on the bigtop also, it's rather like a prettier version of KDE3 and minus the futzing with the panels that I was doing with Gnome and XFCE to make it behave how I wanted it to. But it runs FireFox, Logjam, Twitux, and Pidgin, plays Flash and mp3s, and Abiword doesn't hog too much room, so if I actually was using it as something other than a web terminal it'd be there.
