That's right, I am using Ubuntu Netbook Remix on an eeepc 900a. I think 
its worth looking at ubuntu.com to see, if the model is supported well.

Yes, the UNR is a complete distro, so you have to watch your diskspace, 
but it means you can install anything incuding lilypond. I used the 
distro version 2.12.1 and lately installed 2.13.5 from the 
x86-any-download. Both run fine here :)

This is not a good workingmachine because: I get headaches from working 
on a 7" screen ;)
But its really great that I can fix mistakes and typos on the road and 
print resulting PDFs almost anywhere I find a printer!

It should be possible to try a live-image, if there is enough memory.

Good  luck to you,
another lilypond fan ;)
