Hello, I have a Asus 1000he, and I was abled to install archlinux on it from the usb image. The only thing I had to do was to turn off the quickboot option in the bios. The quickboot partition enables the netbook to boot up quickly. When I repartitioned my netbook I screwed up and got rid of the fastboot partition and my Windows recovery partition. Also, as a sidenote, when you use Linux on a 1000 series, like the ha or he, you need to figure out some way of enabling the equal to the super-he engine in Windows to enable the best battery life in Linux. I think the superhe configurations come with the newest laptop-mode-tools so you should be ok.
