You can try Ubuntu Netbook edition for full featured OS or Windows 7 Home for not that full featured OS :) you decide which one suits your need best...if I were you I`d definately go for the Ubuntu
Thanks, I've also heard about modified ubuntu version called Lubuntu. Any idea how good is that? I'll try to resurrect an old eee pc, and really need something light enough for it.
It is not a light ubuntu edition...it is called Ubuntu Netbook Edition :) it can no longer be found on their official site but you can use download it from the following link. It used to work good on Asus EEE as far as I remember..try it

Very helpful test if you need to choose a distribution :)
That was great, thanks. I'll give Linux Mint a try. It appears to be what I'm looking for.
