The newest kernels (i.e. the kernel in Jolicloud) works fantastically, and I have no video, suspend, or wireless problems. It's only a short time before those same patches make it into the other Linux distros as well. I don't have drivers for this unit for XP, sorry. Windows 7 runs like a champ on this unit, though.

I installed Ubuntu, the wireless didn't work for me. Then I installed Windows XP 'cause Windows Vista is too slow for this system. If you have the driver? Can you send it to me at hgorman@smu.edu ? Thanks.. Henry Chris,

However, I'm currently testing Jolicloud on it, which has an optimized kernel, but it still based on Ubuntu. I've been seeing a little over 4 hours of battery, as compared with around 5 hours under Windows 7.

I installed 9.04 then after 1st boot installed all updates (which updated the kernel to 2.6.28.13). After a restart I installed 'linux-backports-modules-2.6.28.13-generic. Now reboot and wireless works. I prefer super os (a modified ubuntu install). Yep wireless didn’t work on ubuntu 9.04 but installing koala creates more problems than it resolves.
