Yeah mate, i would be trying it on my netbook for sure. I have tried countless times with aros, but is impossible at the moment, so i think that a linux distro amigaized would be perfect.
I don't have much time these days, but for sure i will be trying it in a moment of relief.
I forgot to ask what gui will it be using, as a heavy resource one like gnome or kde would maybe be too much for a netbook.*Could be used a lighter X server as xfce?. That would be more snappier and quick, and also feel more amigaish in faster systems.
