I have this ASUS EEE PC 1000H lying next to me, and DragonFly works
perfectly on it [1]. It boots fine from the USB stick edition. Hardware
is supported except the wireless (wired works with the ale driver). I
haven't tested X because I didn't want to overwrite Windows :)

I don't remember if I tried the SMP kernel (the Atom features Hyper
Threading). I think I did and it worked.

I can really recommend this little and cheap piece of hardware,
especially when you travel a lot.

Regards,

  Michael
