I have the Asus EeePC  904HA   and like it.   I have both XP and Eeebuntu on 
it and it runs both very well.

Three recommendations:

1) Buy the version with Windows XP on it...  You get a lot more hardware for 
the money.  Don't have the figures in front of me but I think its 160GB of HD 
versus  about 40GB  for the same money.

2) Look at the extra RAM you can buy for it.  Pretty cheap.

3) Consider buying the 10 inch screen rather than the 9.x inch.  (I didn't and 
wish I had)  The cost difference is $60.  The case it comes in is the same 
size so they just make the screen bigger within the screen shell.
