[Novalug] Tablet OS?

[Beartooth]

 	My local shop, knowing me, pointed out that they now had 
a tablet that came with linux -- an ASUS Eee PC running Xandros. 
In a weak moment, and not having heard of xandros's deal with the 
Gates of Hell, I bought it.

 	It comes with a 7" screen, about 4 GB of (solid-state!) 
hard drive, and 512 MB of memory. But I added a camera-type 
memory card with about 4 GB, and a thumb drive that adds 8 GB of 
storage.

 	But despite being linux underneath, xandros is already 
too windowed up for me.

 	It has synaptic (if I can find out how to launch it); but 
I'm thinking  I might as well go ahead and install some more 
congenial OS, rather than re-tailor xandros.

 	Is there a consensus on what would be good?
