Maybe if you ask nicely the guys at indamixx might be kind enough to
send you their template for running ardour on their small screen setup.
Or you could start a bounty on mantis for a smaller sized layout to fit
your screen resolution...

Actually, I'm using the EEE as a softsynth, not a DAW.
It's working out rather well so far. I can run a couple Fluidsynths, an ecasound with
a couple LADSPA plugins, and some other utilities, with no problems. Exactly what I
wanted.
I also experimented with ecasound on it for doing some scratch ideas, and it works.
I also loaded Ardour on it, but Ardour is DOA on the EEE: the dialog boxes so frickin big
that they don't fit in the EEE's small screen.
I'm happy to report that Linux softsynths
have been used on a commercial pop/rock CD called "Lawler Rules".
I did some studio work for them over the last year, and the CD is finally out. They
produced it on a Mac with ProTools. I played keyboards on it and used exclusively Linux
and Linux softsynths.

I used AMS for the Moog and ZynAddSubFX for the synthy-string pad on "Cocaine
Cowboys", and PHASEX for the ARP-y plinks on "Death". AZR3 is Hammond
organ and Fluidsynth for piano on most of the songs, and Fluidsynth is also the bass on
"Big Groove".
If you like commercial classic rock, enjoy. Higher-resolution versions might end up for
sale on Last.fm, Virb, CDBaby, or elsewhere.

Very nice!
BTW how did you get on with your eeepc as a DAW?
But the EEE is perfect as a low-power, light, highly
portable softsynth. I've used it for some outdoor street music, and it's fantastic
for that. Also very convenient for rehearsals and should be helpful for casual gigs too.
