I have the Acer Aspire One with Xubuntu. 1.6GHz Atom, 1GB RAM, 160 HD.
 I am dual booting with XP Home and I used the Wubi Installer
http://wubi-installer.org/ to load Xubuntu. Everything works,
wireless, web cam, etc.  Look at keyboard layouts closely especially
if you expect the pipe key to be above the enter key.  I like the
second SD slot it has for data expansion.
