I switched to Linux using Caldera.  When they went under, I switched to SuSE and now am on openSUSE 11.0.  I haven’t switched to 11.1 because I like KDE 3.5.  The November 2009 release of 11.2 will have KDE 4.3 which looks good.

I have an ASUS eee pc 1000HE. It’s small enough to carry around easily and big enough to read and type and is running eeeBuntu linux.
