I'm using Fedora 11 on my 701, although I mostly use NX to connect to
my desktop. It runs fairly smoothly, but it doesn't leave much room on
my 4Gb drive. I tried Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but the menus were a bit
laggy. It should be okay on the later models. Most distributions seem
to support all the hardware out of the box now, or at least have
instructions for getting everything working.

Haiku also works well, except for the wireless.
