I just bought an Asus Eee PC 1002HA. Not even on the shelves yet in OZ.
Same specs as yours except probably a little thinner. I upgraded to 2gig. It definitely is one of the best looking netbooks out there with the brushed Aliminium on top.
Oh and it has N-Draft wireless. So I went out and bought an N-Mimo wireless router. :-)

You do realise that you can boot most operating systems off an SD Card don't you? There should be no need for any extra partitioning, and I fail to see how you could boot all those OSes anyway. I forsee a big mess if you try, but good luck to you if you do. I'd love to know what the compatability is like. BTW There's eeebuntu for eeepcs.
Just for the record the right shift key on eeepcs suck #$%#. Might take me a little while to get used to it. I wish I had a Home key instead of a combo as well, as I like to navigate text with one hand.
But it's really really cool otherwise. I'm in bed, lying down, typing this. I was doing some late night coding in VS2008 and SQLServer2008. It seems to handle it fine. It seems to handle every app I throw at it well. I was shocked when it happily displayed at the top res of my 21 inch monitor too. It doesn't like DirectX games much though, not that I bought it for that, although I was surprised to discover that games from the 2000 period looked pretty nice. Porshe Unleashed, while rather lame in comparison to other PC titles of the period, looks and runs fantastic even at top res. You never saw an Amiga game look this good. Better than Xbox 1 quality at least.
You've inspired me to try out Amikit...now where the heck has my AmigaForever CD got to?
Sorry to say, but this little sucker beats the crap outta Sam in specs, maybe even price.
Edit: And on the subject of OSes, chances are someone will get MacOSX running on this sooner or later.
