*Ubuntu Eee* does not install compiz by default, but works beautifully
in that little space. I've split the SSD giving about 3 Gb to /root
leaving the remaining space for home. There's also another SD memory
card mounted in /media for extra space. I think KDE4 will be better with
its own eye candy staff leaving compiz alone.

As I said I have also another k/ubuntu installed on an external usb disk
and space, there, is no problem. I have a / partition and a home
partition there and even some swap space while I'm waiting to get hold
of a 2 GB ram. With Ubuntu compiz works nicely and doesn't slow the
system down too much, but I don't use compiz when I log into Kubuntu
KDE4. The visual effects are not as fancy as compiz's, but the useful
bits do their job. I think it's well known that compiz is much better in
gnome.

So you're planning to use it for music. Interesting. Certainly advanced
graphic work is ruled out on such a tiny screen. Actually it could be
asking to much from any netbook! ;-)

Right, I'm waiting for mine.
