Re: ASUS and Xubuntu:
I installed Xubuntu on two variants of their old "netbooks" with no problems.
They worked great even tho they maxed-out at 2 GB of ram. I even managed to
dual boot as well as replace the HD with an SSD in the second one, which took a
bit of prying and screwing around.
Excuse the top-post. Interspersing comments doesn't work well on this droid.
