I have had an Asus EEPC 901 since they came out. It has had several Linux 
operating systems on it even running Windows XP as a guest of Mandriva Linux 
via VirtualBox as an experiment. It worked but was too slow for practical 
purposes. It currently has PClinuxOS and has been used (literally) all over 
the world. 

When it was just under 12 months old, the screen seemed to die. Within a few 
days it was collected, motherboard replaced and returned with all my data 
intact.

Rosegarden is a bit of a hungry beast. I think the eepc would be pushing it 
a bit.

PNHB (Probably no help but).
