OSX Lion on Asus EEE1000HE

I've been running SL 10.6.0 on my EEE1000HE for the past year or so. I haven't updated from 10.6.0 because I know there have been issues with updating the software, and I didn't want to risk botching my install.

 

Lion looks might enticing to me, because the 1000HE has a multitouch trackpad, which would enable me to get the most out of Lion. However, I'm not sure how to update to 10.6.8, and from there to Lion proper. I assume just downloading from the app store won't work.

 

Is there any (preferably simple) way to get Lion on the 1000HE, or was my decision to keep it on 10.6.0 unwise?

The CPU in AUSU EEE 1000HE is 32 bit Intel Atom so you cannot isnstall Lion on that. The touchpad is only pseudo multitouch (just few preddefined gestures supported) .. not compatible with apple mutlitouch gestures

 

Latest version you can go up to is 10.6.8, but if you not experienced enough it will be even harder that install 10.6.0 because from 10.6.2 there are some changes that needs workaround, audio and video rollback, patched kernel .. but it worth a try you get at least app store and updated/secure system
