I expect this has been covered before, but people undoubtedly have more

What variety of Linux is installed on the EeePC? Does it bear any
relationship to Debian?
A modified Xandros is installed onto the EeePC, and Xandros is a (much
modified) Debian derivative.
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?
What size? The 2GB SSD is almost certainly inadequate.
Any other issues, beside the obvious?

It looks like a great computer (that is, the 4GB version).
