Not intending to contradict (if that ends up as pain, it will be your pain anyway ;-) but I would go higher with specs if you intend to use Linux on it. Linux tends to grow its demands for resources pretty much exponentially (same as Windows does, only from lower starting point).
On my Acer Aspire One 522 (two-core AMD C-50 1.0 GHz processor with 2 GB of RAM), CentOS 6 is noticeably smoother than Windows 7. Windows uses the battery more efficiently, however.
