I have the regular Xubuntu on my eeePC 701 and Acer Aspire One. They
work fine. The problems you will have:
Limited CPU processing power.
Limited Storage.
Limited memory.
I find them fine for doing a simple recording to a USB hard drive using
Audacity. I would not want to use anything too heavy (ie. softsynths,
samplers, and real-time effects).
One thing with these devices is to manage your expectations.

Hi,
here in France, there's someone who has done many things with it.
first, he install xbuntu, then add with internet access the audio
package, remove some not used.
the audio sound card build in is not enough good, so he used an usb 2
audio card berhinger, which was working good, and also a midi keyboard
connected by usb 2.
Recordings where gone, at the final, he said it was a good choice, not
expensive.

The reason why I asked is because Dell releases the Inspirion 910 today, with XP or Ubuntu pre-installed:

I am a big fan of my Acer Aspire One (intel Atom CPU). The only caveat
is that you should not think of it as a normal 1.6 Ghz machine. even
though it runs at 1.6Ghz, it has far less processing power than my 1.6
Ghz Turion. For doing Live recording or playing soundfonts via Midi it
is fine, where I run into trouble is with the live effects and synths
like Zyn... That is what I meant by managing your expectations.
In terms of performance this is really more like an 800Mhz PIII.
My Acer has 1.5 GB of Ram btw.
I should also note that I have not tested the RT kernel against the
Atom. I have had a few odd issues with the Atom that I expect will get
ironed out with successive kernel versions.

Playback is no problem for these devices. The newer Atom based devices
do various video codecs really well, especially the MPEG4 stuff. On the
audio side they seem to handle whatever I throw at them. The onbaord
cards are decent enough for most situations, even for input (though I
prefer external USB devices for that).
I never did get around to messing with ecasound, but it seems well
suited for the limited displays these things have.
It should also be noted that my caveats in no way diminish my love of
these little guys. I use both of them nearly every day for a variety of
tasks. Basically I use them for everything except VMware and heavy
media manipulation/production.
