I have an HP Mini (210-2145DX) with an Intel Atom and 1G RAM. Not quite the same as what you've got, but maybe close. I've been running a full desktop copy of SUSE on it since March 2011. (Yes, you read that right -- full.) I haven't had a single complaint, and because I installed the full system, not a pared down version of something, it works as I expected it to.

When I was considering netbooks I loaded a USB drive with a live-CD and used that to see if the computer could at least boot and run some flavour of LINUX.

The only issue that I had with the HP was finding the driver for the wireless 802.11 chip set. A bit of searching and I was able to download the latest driver and once it was in place all worked. Everything else worked 'out of the box.'

A link to SUSE if you want to have a go with that flavour:
Linux OS | SUSE Linux Enterprise

I'm not sure what chip set is in your model of HP; at some point in the next day or so I'll see if I can find the partculars for the driver I needed.

UCHCOM(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						 UCHCOM(4)

NAME

     uchcom -- WinChipHead CH341/CH340 serial adapter driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device uchcom
	   device ucom

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   uchcom_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The uchcom driver provides support for the WinChipHead CH341/CH340 USB-to-RS-232 Bridge chip.

     The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4).

HARDWARE

     The uchcom driver supports the following adapters:

     o	 HL USB-RS232

SEE ALSO

     tty(4), ucom(4), usb(4)

HISTORY

     The uchcom driver first appeared in NetBSD.  The first FreeBSD release to include it was FreeBSD 8.0.

BUGS

     Actually, this chip seems unable to drive other than 8 data bits and 1 stop bit line.
