Don't know if you already know about this, but have you tried eeeubuntu?
I tried it on my AspireOne and the distro seems cleaner and faster than
UNR.  Keep in mind that it is a minimal install so you need to add what
ever software you would need and it uses the standard gnome desktop.
UNR was great when I used it and the interface made it easy for my kids,
but still eeeubuntu was worth looking at and thus far I prefer it.
http://www.eeebuntu.org/ here is where you can get it if you would like
to take for a spin and seems would fit your eee better.  You could
always add the remix from repo once up.

Good luck.
