Linux Distro - Netbook

Anyone know of any decent ones? I have a capable Acer A150! Looking to dual boot with Vista. Currently looking at Crunchbang, or maybe Debian with openbox?

Depends, will it have an Internet connection all/most of the time? Moblin and Jolicloud are worth a look.

My guess would be crunchbang or ubuntu netbook remix I keep hearing so much about.

I'm going to take a look at crunchbang, will let all you guys know how it goes.

crunchbang is nice, I've got it installed on a 4gb sd card in my netbook with UNR installed on the main drive.

Im using Crunchbang on my Eee at the moment. Does the job fine. To be honest though, Openbox isnt overly suited to netbooks/laptops imo. Id go with Xubuntu if I could be bothered to change.

Crunchbang is a fantastic distro, it's got a good community and you can mod it to hell and back, I dual boot with #! on my main machine and have never had a problem with it.
