Today I placed my order on Amazon for an Asus Eee PC 1000 (BK002, Linux Preloaded, 1GB RAM, 40GB SSD (Black)), so now I have my finger crossed that it arrives by the weekend, in good condition and that they didn't screw up and send me a Windows one!

Assuming all goes well, I still have one pressing decision - which distro goes on it?

I don't like the default Asus one, although I'll probably play with it for a few days. I was hoping my desktop distro of choice, Linux Mint, would make a special netbook version... called Minteee, naturally!

• Ubuntu Eee seems the most promising. I'm familiar with Ubuntu, so that makes it a fairly logical choice. Also, most Eee distros seem to use a forum post on wiki.eeeuser.com as their 'homepage'. Ubuntu Eee at least has a proper website. It also uses the netbook remix interface, which seems perfect.
  
• Eeebuntu snagged the better name, but their website seems super-slow, so they were harder to investigate.
  
• EeeOS promises right up front to not 'do everything for you "out of the box"', so that's probably not for me!
• PupEee looks and sounds good to me, but I tend to like things with a bit more polish.
