Yes, you can boot from an SD card on the Eee, or even a USB hard drive. What 
you can't do is disable the solid-state drive, so if you want to install 
Windows, it has to go on the SSD.

Unless you install it on a 4GB USB stick and use Virtualbox to run it :)

I've got Fedora 8 on my Eee, using a few custom-built packages (see 
http://rpm.philpem.me.uk/ for the Yum configuration file and bootstrap RPMs 
for wifi and ethernet). It actually works pretty well once you set the 
reserved blocks count on the ext2 root partition to a very low number (having 
400MB of a 4GB SSD hogged by blocks 'reserved for the superuser' is annoying).

As for software, I've got GPASM/GPSIM installed, and some of the AVR tools 
(avrdude and avr-gcc). Haven't had a chance to play with them much, though.
