Ubuntu Distro for the Mini-Note: MinBuntu
Lee over at mininoteuser.com has modified the normal Ubuntu distro to work better with the Mini-Note out of the box and called it MinBuntu. Getting the wireless working is a pain in Ubuntu, and you also need to get the VIA Chrome driver installed if you want to enable 3D Acceleration. MinBuntu has both those installed along with the standard updates. Lee did decide to leave out OpenOffice though, but that is easy enough to install on your own if you need it.

This is good news as it would make it less of a chore of installing my favorite OS. If Isaiah comes out soon enough then I actually might get this but to be honest I will probably end up getting an MSI Wind.

I can confirm that snd-hda-intel.ko mutes the speaker when earphones are inserted. Excellent!

A custom Ubuntu distro is great news.
For those interested in running stock Ubuntu on the Mini-Note, there’s a How-To on the Ubuntu LaptopTestingTeam wiki.
