Yes, even with only 2GB of SSD storage.

eeePC 702 8G

Functional

eeePC T91mt

Bodhi linux Forum member bkruggel reports a successful installation, with some required workarounds.
Here is the link to bkruggel's How-To. Highlights:
- When first installed, the resolution was incorrect.
- Had to solve some dependencies to install the latest graphics drivers for Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat (without upgrading the whole system) and resolving a problem with the touchscreen.
- Buttons and suspend/hibernate work. - The touchscreen was difficult to use.

eeePC 1215

Functional.

eeePC 1215 N

Fully functional - using ION2 discrete Nvidia CPU requires Bumblebee, wifi requires Broadcom setup

eeePC 900

Functional

eeePC T101mt Nearly fully functional hardware by default. Only single touch on display. Multi-touch can be added with a small work around.

eeePC 1201HAB

User vskye tested the live 1.0 release, everything works fine on this minus the default resolution is 1024×768 vs 1366×768. As far as the resolution goes, I know this can be fixed with the correct Intel drivers. Oh ya, dreaded GMA 500 GPU. Just a FYI.

eeePC 1001PX

Completely functional with Bodhi version 2.2.0 with one exception: it will not remember the brightness settings. The following will solve this.

Edit the grub file from a terminal (Terminology):

sudo leafpad /etc/default/grub

Find the following line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet"

Change this in:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet acpi_osi=Linux"

After restarting Bodhi I tested my brightness issue and it was solved!

eeePC 1000HA

Eveything works perfectly - webcam, card reader, wifi, multimedia buttons, etc. babel

eeePC 1002HA

Everything works perfectly - wifi, Fn keys for suspend, touchpad on/off, volume, brightness, wifi on/off, bluetooth on/off, external display on/off
By installing Jupiter, can use Asus Hybrid Engine.

eeePC 1011 Seashell

Works perfectly; webcam, wifi, touchpad, brightness, sound, mic, USB, suspend/resume (incl. fn key). Composite in Bodhi 1.3 works well with hardware acceleration.

eeePC 1015pn

This model works well with Bodhi, with the exception of the particular Broadcom card in it. Here's the method to get it working:

1) Install the older kernel from from here or use Synaptic to install linux-image-2.6.35-28.(Other kernels may work but this one is “confirmed”)

2) The kernel change will affect the video card settings, so run this command to remove the “old” ones.

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/orig-xorg.conf

All we've done there is rename the file, that way you still have it if you decide you need it later.

3) Reboot and make sure it's booting into 2.6.35.28 (it should be the default)

4) Run this command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) jockey-gtk

5) Run jockey-gtk as root with command:

sudo jockey-gtk

6) If Broadcom drivers are activated, de-activate them and re-activate them. Otherwise, just activate Broadcom.

7) Reboot (you may not actually have to, but it won't hurt)
