Hi all,
Indeed I have a new geek-toy : a brand new Asus Eee PC 1000h ! Woohoo !
Unfortunatly even if Asus is manufacturing this computer with Xandros Linux
the stupid Asus France do not ship it in France... The only operating system
available is ... sorry I can't write it here (but it is finishing by XP).
So I am now fighting with Asus France to get those licences reimbursed.
With all that said, it's a wonderfull little computer ! I installed (almost
flawlessly) a Slackware 12.2 on it and it works just fine. I have a KDE 4.2
working very well with compositing and all the fancy things ! Really it is an
amazing computer.
The only thing that was bothering me is the hotkeys... Only the one controlling
screen brightness were working, so I wrote a new acpi handler to extends basic
Slackware one. I made a Slackware package from this one and I will post it here
(and/or I will create a Freashmeat project).
I will come back soon with a HOWTO to install Slackware 12.2 on Eee PC 1000h,
it's nothing difficult since almost everything is supported out of the box by
the kernel-huge-smp (actually very few things needs to be be compiled by hand).
I would like to come with a super-optimized kernel config file for 2.6.28 Linux
kernel.
See you soon,
Arnaud Dupuis
