Method Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I ordered this netbook and should have it this week. I am thinking of using Ubuntu as the OS and am just curious if anyone has done this and had any issues. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor_M Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 As far as I know, there are none, at least none that I personally notice. I own one and I run Ubuntu on it. The only thing is, once you get Ubuntu on it, your wireless card will not be detected by default, but it is quite easy to install the driver, you are looking for the ath5k driver I believe.

stingwray Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Couple of bugs, but nothing major. Guide covers pretty much everything. I really do recommend netbook remix for the interface, or if XFCE is a good alternative to normal Gnome, which I find to heavy handed for the AAO and the 1024x600 screen.

Also, use this config and compile the latest kernel. It's stripped of the stuff you don't need. I had a play about an got about 20 secs off my standard Ubuntu Kernel boot time.
