My Acer Aspire One worked with very few modifications. Picked up my wifi card and usb camera (the one in the lid is actually usb), sound card and intel graphics driver (though I haven't yet tried X, only framebuffer, but I get framebuffer in 1024 by 768 on it). Touchpad works fine with gpm mouse driver. Bit of a cheapo netbook but if flies under gentoo, while it was pretty slow under windows. dual core intel Atom. just out of curiosity I also tried the the pixielive cd which runs X for the intel gma graphics chip and is based on gentoo - it gave me full native res with little or now slowdown - I think it uses the poulsbo driver (or some similar name), overall, installing gentoo was painless - the worst experience I had was trying to map my windows key to CTRL-A for use in screen, still haven't managed it!
