    Bought a One a few weeks ago with Xp, 120 gig hard drive, and one gig ram. Nice little unit.

    Burnt Puppy 4.1 to disk, booted up disk, and installed Puppy to usb flash via machine with cd drive. I was able to partition and install Puppy to One's hard drive creating a dual boot scenerio. Installed GAG to mbr so I won't need to alter mbr in future OS changes. Yes, GAG(boot manager) is easily installed from linux.

    A modified Artheros driver is available at the puppy forum to get wireless working. Network boot must be disabled in bios. There is also a script to get the wireless led working.

    Everything else works fine although I'm not sure about the card reader I do not need.

    There is also Puppy 4.1 with an experimental 2.6.27 kernel available. A quick test showed showed a functioning wireless connection at first boot.

    Have fun!
