openSUSE installs fine on the EEEPCs. Have a look into the wiki and you will find everything you need, including the drivers, which are currently spread over multiple BuildService repositories.
With openSUSE 11.1 the current EEEPC hardware should work out of the box.

It didn't but I'm going to reinstall it more carefully. The thing is, if the network drivers aren't in the kernel then drivers on the repositories aren't that helpul.
Ruben FWIW - from the WIKI
openSUSE 11.0

Different version?
The wiki entry has orginally bee written for openSUSE 10.3. But all drivers are available for openSUSE 11.0, too.
I'm trying to install them now. Is 1.1 out? I just downloaded the DVD 2 days ago. I'm not sure how to install the madwifi driver. There is are several levels of changes which are confusing me not the least of which is that the RPM program seems to think everything is not installed while Yast seems to know everything is installed. I'm not certain what the name of the madwifi driver even is or where it was installed in order to depmode it and modprobe it. Ruben
