Smaller model laptops in combination with Kubuntu - request for advise?

[Bas Roufs]

Dear everybody

A few weeks ago, a laptop from me has been stolen again. That's why I am 
looking for a lighter/ smaller laptop model that is more easy to always 
carry with me, but which can be combined with Kubuntu.

At present, I am considering "ASUS Eeee PC", version 901 or version 
1000. Both new versions  seem to become available in September.  Main 
technical specifications:
1,6 Ghz processor (both models), 1 GB RAM (version 901) or 2 GB RAM 
(version 1000),  20 GB 'solid state disk' (version 901) or 40 GB 
(version 1000).
More technical details:

Both models are being sold along with the Linux distribution 'Xandros' 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xandros)

Does anybody have any experience at all with some version of 'ASUS Eeee 
PC'? If you, did you already install Kubuntu on it? If so, how?

Are there any other smaller model laptops you could advise me in 
combination with Kubuntu?

Thanks for your reflections.


Bas.
