Ubuntu Netbook Remix works fine for this machine, except the sound drivers and wifi, but fixing them is easy:
To get the wifi working:
Update the OS, then use the Drivers control panel in the system settings panel.
There is a bug in 9.10 that prevents this from working out of the box, so you need to update the OS first.
To get the internal Mic working:
Sound works, all except for the internal Mic. A peer passed me a note he found in some forum that worked (sorry, I don't have the original attribution):
(You can install the backport module using the Synaptic package manager).
Here is the word-for-word original note I used:
Yes, that worked for me too, using the Mini 100c!
But you don't have to install the alsa sound package.
Just
- install linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic
- reboot
- open a terminal, enter "alsamixer", press "tab", and set both internal and front mic sliders to 100%
- press "esc"??
You can now use the internal mic using whatever tool you like.
