The Asus EEE PC 70x uses a modified Xandros complete with X and office
application and such, and a nice menu system for those who don't know
linux and just want something more like a palm interface where you just
pick your application and do stuff.  People have already started talking
about how to install Debian on it (since it doesn't have a CD drive, you
need to boot from a USB key or similar).
