Its quite easy getting the Asus EEE Linux PC to run BlitzMax.
First off, you need to visit http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=630, and read the first post to add extra locations to install g++-3.3 and all the other extra stuff needed.
You can then look at one of the Ububtu How To's to find out what packages to install.
You will also find that the file permissions for MaxIDE and the update program need to be changed to allow execution.
Then its just a matter of getting the BlitzMax modules updated and compiled.
You do need to have internet access - some people have been having trouble getting the wireless up and running, although I have had no problems. It is worth making sure that the router will allow wireless access (I have MAC checking in place of WPA encryption, so need to add the MAC address of the EEE PC before it can be used).
Once done, in Network Connections, select the Wireless Connection, and the click on Connection, and then Connect.
You should also got into Properties and make sure that Start Mode to On Boot.
