If you have this “older” Eee PC model, don't despair! It works just fine with the latest Ubuntu Netbook Remix.
I have installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) on an Eee PC 701 model 4G, which has only 4 GB of SSD disk, and everything worked just fine. The built-in webcam might be disabled by default in the BIOS, so if Cheese says “no camera”, check the BIOS settings (Press F2 during power-up).

I have everything working out of the box with fedora 11 except the wireless card. Shouldn't be too hard to change, though
Please look at this distro that is specially designed for Asus EEE netbooks (for all models) with preconfigured drivers etc. http://www.geteasypeasy.com/
