Could you load a base Debian install if I bought this? Just the base install, no X.

Hi Are you looking for a dual boot between Debian and pfSense, or just Debian? I would have to check w/ an engineer based on your answer to insure there is enough room on the 2Gb DOM. If there is not you can upgrade the drive to a 2.5" SATA spinning or SSD.

yes, on the standard Raspbian install. Just plugin and go, no building or loading extra drivers.

you can root the system and install xfce which is ubuntu,lite. It however yells at you every startup that you are in developer mode. it was also a little buggy, i had issues getting printers working etc. The chrome OS is awesome though, I love my Chromebook.

XBMC has a pre-built Ubuntu based distribution available. Otherwise, I would recommend any Debian derivative. Ubuntu is probably the easiest option.

Has he installed any third party reps on xbmc if so he might have to install them again! Bit bits nothing he can't install again :) but here's how you do it! Unplug the the power cord on back of the box and with a tooth pick poke the reset button in where the the power cord conects to the box . Then conect the power cord to the box and turn it on again it will take you to the reset menu and just press enter it will restart like new :)

I installed Linux (Fedora 18), can't find the install CD at the moment but there is a printed sticker on the computer with the license key. The Windows install CD/DVD appeared to be something I could use on some other hardware if the need arose. I chunked the Windows stuff somewhere - sorry.

I tried to install Linux on it right after getting my hands on, but could not boot from CD. I think it is something about encrypted or locked boot loader. I was busy so I did not bother myself looking for a solution. But soon, I'll give it another try and find out the possible solutions and I think it is not that hard to get resolved.Reg's,Rodi

ASUS has not done so. If you are knowledgable and can root, a newer ver. could be installed.

Sorry, but that would be a great question for someone much more technical than i, I am just a user and got lucky, but several people chimed in to help and it worked perfectly. Also try YouTube for help installing, it was amazing and easy to do. Good luck.

Yes, you can. If you have trouble configuring it, let me know. Thanks, Scott

Yes but will need to be formatted correctly. Research the install online and you should find what you need.

Not sure. I would suggest you to use a flash drive to install linux stuff instead.

I don't see any reason why it couldn't. But, unless you can get the upgrade for free, I would just install Classic Shell instead (It's free to download).

It works fine with Ubuntu and I see no reason why it wouldn't work OK with CentOS etc. Is there a particular flavour you want to run on it?
