I recommend CrunchEEE (a derivative of CrunchBang Linux, which uses 
Ubuntu) it comes with the Array.org kernel by default so everything 
works at the end of the install. It also uses OpenBox, rather than 
Gnome, to get extra speed. Aaaaand it even has conky running in the 
corner of the screen, for extra geekness...  :D

I use it on my 701 EEE and it works great.

I did a quick review of it on my blog:
