COMPATIBILITY WITH ASUS EEE PC 1000H

Asked by dartax

Hi, I'm thinking to buy an Asus eee PC 1000h, that this notebook has an ATOM INTEL processor, 80GB Sata HDD, 1GB ram, etc.

Here is the specs of the asus that I want to buy: http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-41424779-tricubo-asus-eeepc-1000h-80g-1gb-10-eee-pc-1000-bluetooth-_JM

And the questions are:

1. I have to install the "ubuntu 8.04 for i386" that I can find in the home page? or there's an special edition for the 1000H?
2. I will have problems or incompatibilities beetween the ubuntu and the hardware?

Very very thanks and sorry for my wrong english!

1) i386 is the normal 32-bit intel proccessor standard, which Ubuntu ships by default with, so you will just need to use the default image

2) It seems the hardware should work, but it needs a bit of tweaking, here is a very good guide on how to this

Hope this Helps

You can also opt to go for eeebuntu (specially made from eeepc's [basically all the tweaks explained in the howto above and a bit more i think])
