“It has been optimized for Acer Aspire One netbooks as is stated
on the home page but may also work on others due to similarities in
hardware. The complete list of confirmed compatibility currently
also includes several Asus EeePC’s and the Samsung N110 as well as
the Packard Bell dot s2. So between the two we should have a lot of
models covered, in particular the EeePC and the Acer Aspire
One.

“There are three download links in the respective section on the
web site, one for an Openbox version which seems to be thought to
be the default image if there is such a thing
(ArchOne-2010.08-Openbox.iso) , an older Gnome version that in the
interface resembles closely the one found in EasyPeasy, with the
categories of the installed software menu, Places and Favorites
stacked up on the left side of the screen. There is also a KDE
version available for download, but both the Gnome and KDE one are
labelled 2010.04 and therefore a bit out of date.”
