I'm using Lilypond on an EeePC 900. But I completely replaced Xandros with 
Fedora 11, installed
from a LiveCD image on an USB stick.
A EeePC 900 has more diskspace, which makes installing Fedora easier. But I 
still removed a lot
of things I did not need, and replaced for example Gnome with LXDE.

There will be a smaller, stripped down version of Fedora 12 based on the LXDE 
desktop which should fit nicely on an 
EeePC 700 I think. Then a simple "yum install lilypond" should do the trick.

I wouldn't be surprised also the Ubuntu people have special support for small 
EeePC netbooks
with a stripped down distro variant ? And Lilypond is in the standard Ubuntu 
repositories ?
