Installation was done using an external USB disk drive and the openSUSE 11.1 DVD. The installation uneventful (once an issue with bad RAM connection was resolved).
The openSUSE installer resized the 16GB SSD in half without issue. The remaining half was set for /, /home was created on the supplied 16GB SDHC card.
Virtually all of the S101 hardware appears to have been correctly detected and setup "out of the box". The only things that I have noted so far that aren't completely setup are some of the function soft-keys, such as WIFI on/off, volume controls. Other soft-keys do work, such as, screen brightness, sleep

Works perfectly |
Worked OoTB. Appears to use ath9 module. Connects to my WPA2 network. Seems to get good signal and throughput (better than some of my other machines) |

Worked OoTB. Can be activated by:

Trackpad |
Works |
Scrolling, 1,2, and 3 finger tapping all work. My only issue is that the trackpad is reasonably large and I touch it quite a bit when typing and the cursor then jumps to another location |
|
CPU throttling |
Works well |
The CPU automatically throttles between 800 MHz and 1600 MHz (via a couple of steps) as required. The machine appears quite responseive. |

Volume control softkeys |
Do not work out of the box, but there is a simple workaround |
Have remaped <META> and the appropriate Fx key to the desired action using: |
