I know, and thank the developers a lot for what they are doing
supporting the Eee. I was hoping some "dumb user" like me tried it. :)

The 1000HE hasn't arrived here in Italy yet, but I was thinking the same
thing, with a USB live.

But yesterday I found some messages on eeeforum, ubuntu forums and
archlinux forums (thanks google :) ) of people successfully installing
Linux on it, and reaching 6.5 hours, so I think it works well.

Thank you all for the answers. As soon as it comes to Italy, I am going
to buy it. :)

Bye.
