Ok, so I currently have an Asus Eee Pc 1000HE with an Atom cpu & 2GB of ram.

I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 9 LTS which is built upon Ubuntu 10.04 LTS its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 9 LTS then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation

Linux Mint 9 LTS can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Boot without touching your Hard Drive

Once you have installed Linux Mint 9 LTS you can bring it up to date with easy tweaks like upgrading the Kernel to 2.6.38 and installing Firefox 4
