This came up just a short time ago. To answer your question directly,
I've found F10 to be a very good fit on my EeePC.

I put a LiveCD onto a SD card using livecd-iso-to-disk and installed
from that, which gave me a pretty light install. I followed some of
the advice at:

particularly the use of OpenBox and Epiphany.

I also tweaked my fstab to reduce writing to my internal flash storage:

In all, I love Fedora 10 on my EeePC. I'm excited about trying F11 soon...
