Debian vs. the Eee PC

[Mark Allums <mark@allums.com>]

I expect this has been covered before, but people undoubtedly have more 
experience with it now, and it won't hurt to discuss it again.

What variety of Linux is installed on the EeePC?  Does it bear any 
relationship to Debian?

Have people been using Debian with/on the Asus EeePC?  What issues have 
come up?  Is installing it easy, hard?

How is the experience?  Would a $400 budget laptop from Acer or somebody 
be a better choice?  (Assume I can't use a Macbook Air, or other 
high-end ultra portable.  For whatever reasons.)

Is the SSD on the basic/original model adequate?

Any other issues, beside the obvious?
