Q4OS worked for me. It took a couple of attempts. KDE Plasma 5 was a 
little too much but the lighter Trinity DE is usable. 

It originally had Xandros which wasn't bad but it didn't support WPA2 
which became a real problem. It wasn't the hardware since Q4OS handles it 
with no problem.

I snapped on up when they firs came out. Small enough to throw in a 
motorcycle saddlebag and not HD, which I doubt would pass the Harley 
Shake'N'Bake environmental testing for long. Also cheap enough that it 
wouldn't be a heavy loss if stolen or destroyed.
