I run Arch on a Gateway Arc200, one of their ultralights, without any
problems.  I did have to install the drivers for the wireless (an Intel
2100 or 2200, I've forgotten which, but I simply followed the
instructions on the Arch wiki and it was pretty trivial.

If I remember correctly, I did have a bit of trouble getting X
working--I think in the end I stuck in a PCLinuxOS live CD, and copied
over its X configuration.
