Only two weeks after getting my eeepc I wiped it out and installed Debian lenny with the help of Debian Wiki. Nothing like pure Debian inside!!! They provide a nice network installer of appoximately 13 mb that you can copy into a pendrive and boot from it.
I have been trying it for a couple of weeks and everything seems to work just fine. I think that Lenny has not yet been frozen but I suppose it is about to in a few days. Here is a screenshot of lenny in the eeepc.
