I don't think ASUS will have the same success with the desktop version as with the laptop. If you look at the small Linux desktop machine market (machines about the size of a VHS tape in some cases) there are plenty of products to choose from. ASUS just had the right product at the right time with the EEE laptop, there just isnt much around under $400 with a 7" lcd that is also pretty lite and easy to carry.
Maybe not a desktop version, but a full size laptop version with a bigger battery and a DVD/CD burner would be nice. Light, easy to see, and solid state with instant on. 20GB of free space and I'd use it for business.

In term of Linux Desktop, the Koala from System76 is probably a good choice.
