Picked up an Asus eepc today (900 mHz, 1gb ram, 20gb ssd (4+16), linux (xandros) preinstalled.

I didn't want to install knoppix to the ssd, so i ran it from a bootable 8gb usb-thumbdrive. That thing is fast when you run Knoppix from ram that's for sure.

3d worked, flying cubes and all that, but the network (both wired and wireless) didn't seem to be supported. In all honesty I didn't really try to get it working, and I didn't get around to sound. It seems to be the Atheros chipset for network.

Even though the above doesn't seem to work, I'll probably try to make a bootable SD card out of Knoppix just for kicks so I don't have a usb dongle hanging out ready to snap off.

I would sure love to see knoppix work out the atheros kinks for the Asus eepc as I really liked how it performed in ram. I probably see no need to install it to the internal ssd-disk; for that I'd probably end up with Mandriva if I ever felt the need to change from the default Xandros.

Man, running Knoppix from a bootable SD card, with a persistent image, and running in ram would be a great project. Klaus, here's your justification to get one!
