which Linux are you on? if you are on a debian or ubuntu there are .deb packages from Hans website http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html there are some instructions on how to install packages there as well.
you are likely to get errors telling you that some libs are missing, again if you are on a debian or ubuntu system you can use synaptic package manager to get those libs, then try again to install the PD package.
this how i would do it, but maybe someone knows an easier way?

sorry i forgot to say that you could just go to synaptic and search for pure data and install, this would give you an older version but maybe easier to deal with missing dependencies because it will try to solve them automatically. Try this first if you dont care about PD version you will be running.

It is just the same as on every other computer. I use (k)ubuntu on the eee, so all dependencies are easy to install ...
However, I don't know if it is that easy on the default Xandros OS, you might not have all latest libraries, but you could try it !

i downloaded Hans' .deb installer but when i run it from the xandros desktop (choosing the option "install debian package" or something like that) i get an error message and it doesnt go far. both synaptic and apt-get give me a non-extended pd to install, which i tried, but i really need extended, as all my patches require it at some point. can you apt-get install extended? mayb it's just a matter of adding the right sources? ideas?

i dont think so.

I wouldn't recommend doing it with the default Xandros installation if you are new to Linux. It is certainly possible but you have to customize the repositories first, and then probably you'd want to permanently enable the advanced mode desktop, both of which require text editing and command line tweaking. This might sound like jargon to you but with a month or so of practice you'll have a lot better grip on it, we've all been there when we were learning Linux. There's stuff you have to understand about repositories, packages, dependencies, and all of that before you can get a good grasp on how to install pd extended in a customized Linux distribution like the one Asus provides. What would be a better choice would be to switch to something like eeexubuntu for your os and follow standard documentation for Ubuntu/Debian based operating systems - that way you get a good base of how-tos + etc floating around on the 'net in case you have any questions.
So, there are a few of us using the eeepc on this list (I guess me and Georg, maybe some others too) but like I said, if you want to be able to follow the multitude of howtos and troubleshooting guides out there so you can get your problems resolved faster without having to wait for the slowbies to answer, you'll be better off getting a standard, full-functioning OS like eeexubuntu instead of the customized Asus Xandros. Check out www.eeeuser.com and read the wiki there - this is the best site for eeepc related matters and has great howto guides you can follow.
Good luck!!! km

It worked ok for me with the debian distro http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC by the way, just a little warning i first tried to install debian on a sdhc external card, ran into several pbs and finally this sd card burn out (apparently it happened to some other people). what i would avice then is to install debian on the internal card (removing xandros, which you have on the install cd anyway). i rand pd-extended and supercollider rather smoothly. best, vincent
