Puppeee 1.0 for the eee is Released
August 7, 2010 - Puppeee, amazing distro for the eeePC, is released.
In the puppeee home page, Jemimah wrote: Puppeee is an ultralight, user-friendly Linux distribution for the EeePC
Puppeee should work on EeePCs with Intel GMA900, GMA950, and GMA3150 graphics cards. This is most 10 inch or smaller models. There is partial support for the 1101HA/1201HA with the GMA500 using Xvesa.
Jemimah has described Puppeee's development in the Forum: Puppeee comes with a custom ultralight preemptive kernel optimized specifically for Atom or Celeron processors - the result is fast boot time, high performance, and low power usage.

"There is partial support for the 1101HA/1201HA with the GMA500 using Xvesa."
Note that XVesa means NO hardware support. XVesa is a fallback driver that pretty much all graphics hardware can work with, ie the GMA500 is NOT supported.
