Lots of people are using Ubuntu desktop edition on that kind of laptops. If you want to save battery, try running a tool called powertop
Install it, open a terminal and type
sudo powertop
It will suggest some configuration changes you may do.
But bear in mind the Ubuntu developers know netbooks are popular and try to set everything up so battery usage is not too bad, so latest Ubuntu setup is quite good when running on batteries.

ubuntu uses less power than windoze and doesn't cause overheating.
i had windoze 7 on my netbook. the cpu temperature was 55C.
i switched to ubuntu and the temperature dropped down to 40C. depending on how many applications you have running, the temperature will vary, depending on the strain that is placed on the processor. at times, the temperature on my netbook drops down to 28C.
