in Upcoming Emtec GDium ultraportable will run Mandriva Linux on Liliputing
As long as these netbook Linuxes remain well supported (firefox is updated, skype is updated, etc.) it doesn't matter. The way I see the netbook market is that there are three kinds of people:

1, Who will use Windows
2, Who will use whatever comes on the system
3, Who will customize the Linux to their needs.

1 and 3, matters not. 2 will be fine no matter who packaged their system as long as it remains supported. (I do have some concerns that it won't stay supported past a year or so.) Unfortunately people who need more services will switch to Windows or are Linux pros who will do it them selves for them selves...

I would love to see enough people in category 2 to create competition between the systems. Who can offer more? Package more/better software that you choose to install.
