Hello all, Are there any experiences for CentOS 5 on one eeePC of Asus? Is to be considered here something? I consider myself as secondary equipment one eeePC 900 to add (here in Germany unfortunately at present only with Windows at this time). Did someone already gain experiences with one of the predecessor models here? sincerly Henrik

Reminds me of using broadcom wifi before the b43 driver came out. If you wish to stay within the RedHat sphere as it were then there is this info on using fedora 9 with the eee. <http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=29477> and <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EeePc> I seem to remember that there was work being done at FOSDEM on installing CentOS on an eee but it seems problematic! mike
