There a whole user modding community grown up around the Eee. Apparently the favoured hack is to rip the existing OS off and stick Ubuntu on, so there is no reason in the world you won't be able to get Gentoo on it. And it has no hardware inside that does not have Linux support somehow somewhere Compilation might take a while though :-) perhaps you should cross-build from an existing beefier machine -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
