I've been using Debian Lenny on eee 1000 for about 6 months now. Works good for me.
After installing from the OS from the DebianEeePC link above, then install wicd from here. The wicd made my debian eee pc much more enjoyable.

Too bad Tim didn't buy the linux version of the eee PC, even though you pay the same price for the windows version, you pay the microsoft tax in the form of a smaller harddrive. Still, better late than never.
I agree with this post. After getting "shuffled" by songs my wife bought on itunes, I searched for months for a easy/legal/open/fair music solution. I don't want to be a Amazon fanboy, but they have a "fair" system that doesn't lock out any competing OS's.
The amazon mp3 let you download a single song without installing anything on your PC.
Here's my music solution:
OS: Debian GNU Linux - i'm running Lenny
Music Manager: Rythmbox - comes with Debian
Online Music: Amazon mp3 - artist get paid some, but no DRM
Portable player: Sansa Clip - plays ogg & mp3
I burn my existing CD collection to ogg
enjoy.
