Moblin Linux is a joint project by Intel and Novell, and shows you what can happen when a couple of deep-pocket corporations put some wood behind the Netbook Linux arrow:
Moblin is Intel's Linux-based based mobile platform for netbooks and MIDs. It is heavily optimized for the Atom processor and is designed to work well on small form-factor devices. The project is gaining significant traction among Linux distributors and many have partnered with Intel to participate in the development effort. Individual distributors will integrate Moblin components into their own netbook platforms or build their own derivatives.And combined with the eeePC 1008HA, you reach the state of want:
Damn, that's the Asus EeePC we got - only withiout Linux - it was an option. It's about (more?) as powerful as my old pentium desktop here.
