  On that note, you might be interested in this recent news. It
concerns the [X]Ubuntu 8.04 distro from Linutop 2 systems now being
available on a USB stick, and ported to EeePC {7|9}00s in
particular. It claims a 600MB footprint.

  I can't speak for its ability to shrink a Windows partition
and fit itself in the remaining space, but the report on it
(feature list included) is here:

Cheers,
