linux for V-Net?

[Doug]

I just purchased a Visual-Land VL760 really small and cheap netbook, 
mainly because I couldn't resist the $60 price from eCost.
It is really a gutless wonder, altho it has a decent display.  It runs 
Windows CE-5, which looks sort of  like XP, but isn't.  The
instruction book says quite frankly that it won't run standard Windows 
software.  It does include a batch of useful tools,
like an editor, a net browser, a spreadsheet, and presumably a mail 
program.  It even has solitaire on it.  On the downside, it
is slow, the screen is pretty small, and there's not much customization 
available--I can't seem to find a way to make it work
on single-click.  (You can customize the desktop background, however.)  
And speaking of mice, several external mice don't move the cursor, altho 
the buttons work.  I have two that do work, one of which is one of a 
pair, the other of which doesn't!  Unfortunately, my Kensington 
trackballs do not work.  I am allergic to touchscreens!  Also, a gripe: 
too much depression required of the spacebar.

Anyway:  there seems to be a password required to get to the bios, and 
it's not the password you enter into Windows.  I don't know
what it might be.  It's not "admin" either.  I assume you'd need to get 
to the bios in order to make it boot off a flash drive.
If I could get a very small Linux to work on it, I'd like suggestions as 
to _what_ Linux--I'd certainly want to keep a GUI--and _how_
to get it to work with it.

I know it's a toy, but it's cute.

Anyone out there with suggestions?
