Linux on the ASUS N10J

dude is it ubuntu?

[ALLurGroceries]

No it's Debian. The howto guide is mostly applicable to Ubuntu as well.

[ALLurGroceries]

Yes both WPA and WPA2 work. As long as you follow my guide.

Is fingerprint working for you?

I've installed OpenSUSE 11.1, but fingerprint is not working, there are no drivers.

[ALLurGroceries]

There is now a full howto guide for getting the fingerprint reader working. Click 'more info' on the video and follow the link, then on my howto guide look for 'Fingerprint Reader'

[Strahlex]

It seems to work, but KDE 4 has no fingerprint function yet. I'm sure they'll implement that with 4.3 or 4.4.

nice to see linux running on it

I really want the 256mb vram which my Eee PC1000 can't perform well enough without but the screen is the possible blocker for me, I"ve heard it's really reflective.. is it too reflective for outdoor use?

[ALLurGroceries]

The 1000 has a matte screen. This has a glossy screen so it's a no-go for outdoor use. Sorry :(

Were you able to get wireless to work with Linux right away? Is the chipset Intel or Broadcom. Thanks

[ALLurGroceries]

The chipset is an Atheros AR928X which uses the ath9k kernel module. Please see the URL in the video info for setup instructions ;)
