The project began as a series of patches to the Android source code to enable Android to run on various netbooks and ultra-mobile PCs, particularly the ASUS Eee PC.

Once installed you might need to go to the top right and Turn OFF the auto-rotation, since for a pc most will want it to stay in landscape mode. Also i found an issue with waking it up from sleep. So go into settings / Display / Sleep .. and change to Never Sleep.
