    OK here it goes....

    pretty much every live version i download is working just fine...
    I am with ubuntu since 8.4 never had issues with it that much....

    Now....since 10.10 it crashes when updateing (video card issues)

    I love how sabayon5.5 feels but i cant install it my keyboard activates the FN keys so i can not type all the letter on my keyboard
    I love the feel of PCLinuxOS actually a lot but it crashed when prepareing HDD


    and pretty much everything else after install crashes on me so bad that it wont even start.

    FreeBSD, Ubuntu, Sabayon, arch, Gentoo, mint..... got them all in different version but nothing will really work.

    My Setup:

    Asus EEEPC 1201N Dual Core Atom 1.6GHZ, 3GB ram, Nvidia ION (works with all Distros untill update or install), 60GB Kingston SSD Atheros wireless (always works OFB)
    WIN7 runs ok but i think they have issues with the Service Pack 1 after installing that it crashes too. Before update to SP1 it runs OK
    But i dont want WIN.....

    I think i need help or a new Laptop.....lol

    __________edit_________

    I guess i figured out what was wrong......

    first the Nvidia driver are not working correctly for me. I did a disable additional Hardware driver and the resolution is bad and blurry but all the systems are running fine.

    AND.... bad memory......had to get new one to make windows work.
