Popped the latest multi-arch Debian ISO (8.7.0) into my trusty ZALMAN external drive with virtual CD/DVD function.
My experience is similar on my ASUS T100TA, but I started with the Debian multi-arch 8.6.0 on a USB stick and keep it upgraded to stretch/sid. For kernels I've been following the (infrequent) Ubuntu packages from the T100TA G+ community. I have bootable 4.7 and 4.8 kernels installed, but 4.4.14 has been the best so far... - I have my music library installed and the headphone jack functions. - no camera yet but I don't miss it. - a great size for writing docs at a hackfest, paired with my laptop-size ThinkPad Bluetooth keyboard. (I did this at Red Hat in the summer.) It will boot GNOME continuous in a VM. Issues I haven't taken the time to resolve: - no tap support (screen or touchpad--the touchpad requires an actual click) after 4.4, kind of essential when I'm using it without the extra keyboard. - screen rotation was non-functional but sprung to life after a recent upgrade (kernel firmware, maybe?). It defaults to upside-down in landscape mode, so I had to un-rotate it (at the command line) and lock it. Mike
