I usually buy my Eee PCs with 512MB or 1GB RAM and then upgrade it myself. Specs - Choose a powerful Eee PC if possible, as you cannot upgrade the CPU or other soldered components later on) You will want something with at least 2GB of RAM. When buying a used Eee PC, consider the following: Looking to buy Asus's NEW Eee Book?

We do not recommend using an Asus Eee PC or any netbook from years ago as a daily driver, due to a large lack of features and software support that does exist on Windows or Macintosh machines. In these cases, you can force the execution of a PAE kernel with with kernel options forcepae - forcepae ( detailed instructions).If you have any questions regarding your Asus Eee PC, or other (closely related) netbook, this is the place for you to get some help! The Asus Eee PC is still one of the best computers for lightweight everyday use, as well as toting around for school or work on a tight budget. Side note: Though I did not need it for this model of computer, some CPUs falsely advertise that they don't support PAE when in fact they do.
So I am not sure what causes the "CPU incompatibility" issue in your case. I installed a regular (PAE based) kernel, and it runs just fine. So it turns out that it is not necessary to utilize a non-PAE distribution. The Eee PC 4G (701) uses a CPU "Intel Celeron M Processor ULV 353", which supports 32-bit Physical Address Extension (PAE), according to the specs. Normal Ubuntu / Lubuntu boot options in current releases fail to start the Linux kernel on non-PAE CPUs. PAE is "physical address extension", allowing a 32-bit processor to access main memory beyond 4 GiB. My first guess was that you might need a non-PAE kernel for this computer. are all the same as in Ubuntu, and you can even add packages from Ubuntu repositories. deb packaging system and package names etc. working out of the box, and still is very compact (~120 MiB main memory usage after start). It runs nicely, with most of the Fn keyboard shortcuts etc. This distro is based on Debian 9, so pretty close to a recent Ubuntu. For installation troubleshooting, see my other answer. Right now I am running BunsenLabs Linux Helium on it, from image bl-Helium-4-i386.iso. So for whatever reason I found myself looking for a Linux distribution for the Asus Eee PC 4G (701) today, in 2019 :D
