Well that was fast. Just after two weeks after announcing that development of Kuki Linux had been put on hold indefinitely due to real-life distractions, the developers are back on the job.

Kuki is a custom version of Ubuntu Linux designed for Intel Atom powered netbooks. That means it’s designed to work with the netbook’s hardware out of the box, including the wireless, sound, and video devices.

While the Linux distribution was originally designed just for Acer Aspire One netbooks, the team is adding support for other models, and have confirmed that the Asus Eee PC 1008HA works perfectly. Other models such as the Asus Eee PC 1005HA should be Kuki-compatible as well.
