I've been using the advanced desktop Xandros on my Eee for over a year now. Things work as they should, but I'm about to give Debian Lenny a spin. Since they've got a version customized for the Eee, I have high hopes for this one.
I haven't installed it to the SSD, but can confirm that Puppy 4.2.1 works beautifully on the ASUS 701 and 901 when booting from USB. My next experiment is to use Q and get it to boot on my Mac.
