Loving how they list Pentium II as a minimum requirement. I still have an old netbook with Intel Atom that I use when travelling to certain parts of the world and while it is clocked at 1.6 GHz and has 2 GB of RAM many of the modern Linux desktops are extremely sluggish.

- UncleSlacky 8y agoGood news. I'm just about to try it on my Asus eeePC 701 4G, I've upgraded the RAM to 1Gb and have an 8Gb SD card for additional storage. Fingers crossed!
- david-given 8y agoI have an eee 701 --- there are graphic driver problems but it works find in safe mode. (I think there's something weird about the eee's smaller-than-normal screen.) Incidentally, I recall the early eees (like mine) having a faulty SD card slot and were unreliable writing to SD cards. Real MMC cards work fine. But that was years ago, so maybe there's a workaround now.
- UncleSlacky 8y agoThanks for the graphic driver tip. I've never had an issue with SD cards, but the 4G is (I think) the last iteration of the original 700 series, so presumably it was fixed by then.
