I finally got it (sage) to work on the asus. Here are some random comments.
1. A lot of preporatory work was done on my ubuntu desktop. For example, the sd card is mounted as root and typically formatted as vfat. I reformatted as ext2. Also, for copying, I didn't use the command line (even with sudo cp -r ..." I ran into problems) but used "sudo konqueror". I also umounted and remounted the sd card to a different location (also possibly unecessary) using the mount -o exec option. 2. The version http://www.sagemath.org/SAGEbin/linux/32bit/sage-3.0.2-debian32-intelx86-i686-Linux.tar.gz when decompressed and copied to the sd card just seems to work as is. *However* (this is important), on the asus I tweaked the /sbin/probedevice file in the asus (which may have not been necessary). 3. I tested both the command line and notebook version. Both seemed to run fine (Firefox was installed by default and no other programs other than the factory installed ones seemed to be on the asus, AFAIK). There was a traceback error at start but it seemed to be harmless. (I haven't gotten wifi configured on it yet, so can't paste the traceback into this email.) 4. The slax install mentioned later in the thread did not work since that seems to assume that the sd card is formatted as vfat.
