I'm using an Asus Eee PC X101CH with Trisquel. h-node has good information on it and the fixes from a related notebook (linked in the h-node listing) worked well for me. Newer releases of Trisquel worked out of the box.

I replaced the hard drive with an SSD. I needed a pretty small/slim one, I wish I could remember the model number and size. It was a touchy replacement, but it works just fine once I got everything put back together.

The only real problem is that video is super choppy on this machine because it's only got 1GB of RAM. I put 4GB of swap space on the SSD hoping for some slower RAM, but it didn't do much good. YouTube (via minitube) is pretty laggy, as is most any other video. Now that I think about it, that may be a graphics issue as well. I'm sure it plays video fine using Windows.

At any rate, I'm happy with it. If you don't watch much video, it's a good little machine.
