Re: Programming on an Asus Eee PC
It is my understanding that the Eee runs windows xp (at least theoretically) . You would have to install the OS yourself as I don't believe it is sold pre-installed. It would be difficult to code efficiently on a screen and keyboard as small as the Eee's. That and with the memory and processor resources of the Eee, XP would be significantly slower than you might like.

That being said, it should be possible to write and upload code with the built in Linux/Unbutu (I think the Eee runs an Unbutu hybrid) tools. Though your programming skills could be put to the test as you would have little to no support that the IDEs that C18 and EasyC offer.
