My Asus Eeepc 1000H says:

It runs Debian beautifully, suspends and resumes indefinite times, and with the latest Xfce4 Energy Manager can be customized as you like it. I'm not sure about other Asus netbooks, but they won me over with the Eee 2G Surf and have kept me for a few more years with this beauty. I have no use for Moblin though.

My Acer Aspire One (751) says:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 07)

Does not do S2R and has problems with S2D (i.e. no audio or wireless after resume)... No 3D graphics, and was a nightmare to even get 2D working in something else than a slooow VESA.

Comes with Windows-only preinstalled (although Acer will refund it if you cover shipping costs to/from them so that they can remove the Redmond system).

And it's one of the few 12 inch netbooks.

BTW, newer Asus netbooks come with Poulsbo as well (1000H is pretty old model).

My Asus 1005HA (Which I write this comment from) reports:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

The 1005HA is one of their newer models, and, after upgrading to kernel 2.6.30, runs Debian Lenny like a charm.
