I think I'd still with the Asus Eee, remove the stock Xandros-based Linux, and install Ubuntu-eee. (http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/) We've got Windows users using it and VERY happy. The "great deal" is that you don't have to lug around a standard-sized laptop. Less weight, less attraction of theft (if it's inside your luggage.) @Ian: They are a good deal until you add XP to them.

My only hesitation is how well it can really handle XP. And considering that a "cheap" laptop generally costs only $100 more, I'm not sure it's that great of a deal.

That little processor is so damn cool. The neat thing about the Mini is that the atom processor is I believe the first one in a netbook to have hyper threading enabled.
