Discussion
works well with Arch Linux, however it seems to require additional configuration for suspend (still haven't been able to get that to work).
Detected all the hardware however, and running very well.
Works great with Linux Mint Mate 13 (Dual boot - installed within win 7 x64)
The processor consumes very less power when on battery, the idle time speed is 800 MHz.
Supports all device drivers, including multi gesture touchpad - vertical and horizontal scrolling.
It automatically detected my webcam, Bluetooth, WLAN, graphics and even my vodafone GSM mobile broadband.
It takes 15-20 minutes to install on the asus x44h.
