I hope it is OK to post this in the M8 forum. I have installed Antix M8 to a 8GB SD card in my new ASus EEE pc 1000he. It is working very well..... wireless was set up without a hitch. I use Fluxbox, as I like how easy it is to configure. The volume buttons do not work with the"Fn" button, so I added a couple lines in the"keys" file, and just use them with"ALT" button instead. I haven't found a use yet for the integrated camera, but maybe I will try Skype in the future. Bluetooth is untested, too at this point. The trackpad mouse works right off, with the 1, 2, and 3 finger gestures. (The funky"2-finger zoom" feature doesn't seem to work, but I probably wouldn't use that any way.)
In a word, Antix is THE choice right now for Linux on this box. I tried several others, with less success: Sidux, PClinuxOS, and a couple I have forgotten now.
Did I mention Antix runs like a SCALDED DOG on this thing?????!!!!!!!!!

I thought this would help some users of this new EEEpc model searching for a suitable Linux distro. Nice thing is, it doesn't touch the hard drive, or the Windoze install.....

Thanks again, Anti!!

Glad antiX is working well for you on the EEEpc oldlongbeard.

Someone else has posted about antiX on a EEEpc. Might be of help.

Here it is:
