Ubuntu 10.04 is THE OS for your netbook.

I could never use Ubuntu as my main machine, since I'm so reliant on Windows apps like Office (back when I was in school) and now Zune, so I would install it on my ASUS EEE 1000HE (gdgt.com­/asus­/eee­/pc­/1000he/). Up to 9.10, I always felt that it ran a bit too sluggish for me to stick with it and I would eventually just go back to XP or 7. Right now I have the beta running on my netbook and it's runs a lot faster. I'd say that overall performance matches Windows 7, with exception of flash.

Until Google Chrome OS has an official release, I'll be running Ubuntu.

I'll have to check out the beta. After making some tweaks to 9.10 on my HP mini 311 it runs like butter on it.
