I bought the original netbook, ASUS eeepc 701 surf, and I hated it. The 7in screen was too small, and a keyboard at 92% normal size just wasn't working for me. However something around the 10in might be handy from time to time.
I used ubuntu netbook remix and windows xp. Found both to work moderately well performance wise.

- SamAtt 17y agoThe keyboard situation was the same for me and it turned out to be the deal breaker. I had the Asus 1000HE (a 10.1") with the same 92% of normal size keyboard and I just never got used to it. I have an easier time typing on my Blackberry (which is such a different experience that my normal keyboard reaching instincts don't apply)
