Which distribution for a netbook?

I have a netbook ASUS EEEPC 1015CX SeaShell Series with Integrated graphics, 1GB ram and 1.6GHz processor (ATOM).
I have tried multiple times to get Ubuntu 12.10 on it via LIVE USB "Try Mode" but it didn't boot up, all I saw was a black screen with a white blinking "_".
Once I've installed it through WUBI and when it finished and rebooted the computer some errors started popping up about certain files missing so I've aboreted the install.
I have tried to get 12.04 which worked but graphics only operated at 800×600 which is too small as I can achieve 1024×600 on my W7 Starter.
So here is my question:
Which Ubuntu version or Ubuntu-based distro is best for my Netbook, and if it is one of the mentioned above can you suggest a fix to the graphics problem?
Thanks.

For an Asus Eee PC 1015PN, it is suggested in this site: (please check that webpage and note that the computer model is differente than yours)
Correct display resolution: If you can't set the 1024x600 resolution in Gnome's Display Settings open a terminal and type:
xrandr
which should output something like:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 4096 x 4096
LVDS1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
800x600 60.3 56.2
640x480 59.9
Take note of the name of your laptop's display device. In this example it is LVDS1
To get the supported modeline type:
cvt 1024 600
The output would look like:
# 1024x600 59.85 Hz (CVT) hsync: 37.35 kHz; pclk: 49.00 MHz
Modeline "1024x600_60.00" 49.00 1024 1072 1168 1312 600 603 613 624 -hsync +vsync"
With this info you can now add a new modeline to xrandr:
xrandr --newmode "1024x600_60.00" 49.00 1024 1072 1168 1312 600 603 613 624 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode LVDS1 1024x600_60.00
xrandr auto
Please note that this might or might not work in your model of computer, and I have not personally tested this. Check the referenced website for more information.
