    Hi,

    Could you confirm me if the internal wireless of the 1008HA is the same as the one from 1000H, a Ralink RT2860? Thank you.

    By the way, on my 1000H the only distro that behaved 100% well, especially regarding WiFi, was Easy Peasy (Ubuntu-based). Ubuntu, either standard or a in the form of some other netbook-specific variant, even after having the wireless card up and running (either out-of-the-box or after a couple of commands), did not connect to Eduroam (the ubiquitous higher education network, which has some authentication and encryption pecularities); with Easy Peasy, all of this worked out of the box.

    I have installed a dual boot on my 1000HE netbook this weekend : Windows 7 ultimate and Ubuntu 9.04. Everything woks fine except the hotkey and Super Hybrid Engine and I solved it with help of this url : http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=69700
    I have an Asus 15,4 notebook and since I have the eeepc netbook 90% of the use are with the eeepc.

    I have PCLinuxOs in a Aspire One and it behaves quite well, giving me almost full hardware support (sd card not working..yet), that aside it runs smooth.

    And as I see you’re a Mac pearson so you can try OS X on it?!

    You really should try Mandriva 2009.1 as it works really well and officially supports netbooks.

    @Ricardo Ribeiro: try to reboot the Aspire One with a card in the slot as this is a known problem. It should just work after that.

    @João: Will check the wireless later on and get back to you on that.

    @Ricardo: I thought about using Mac OS X but the wireless and ethernet are not supported by the current hacked versions of OSX.

    @Énio: Thanks for the tip, will try that 😉

    Just got a 1008ha still finding my way around it. The keyboard is a great step up from my 901. Only 2 USB ports so a mini-usb hub is essential.
    Could you tell me how to install a different OS? Do you need the propriatory Asus cdr or can you link any usb cdr – indeed is there any way of doing it from a usb stick or external HDD and an .iso style image of the OS?

    Cal, you can install a different OS using a USB pen Drive or any USB Optical Drive. I bought a LiteOn DVD and it works perfectly, it’s easier to install a Linux distro or revert to Windows XP this way. Yes, you can also use an external USB HD, but it has to be formatted in FAT / FAT32 with the image of the OS, don’t forget this changes the disk’s MBR. (for most Linux distros). The procedure is almost always the same, check it here – https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles

    Cheers!

    I’m getting absolutely nowhere with getting the ACPI drivers to work with the 1008HA under Windows 7 – I’ve found some hacked drivers by Gecko.me, but they won’t install. Compatibility XP mode with the original drivers also doesn’t work.
    Would be very grateful for help! email: tramtin “at” hotmail.com
