I've loaded up Ubuntu's netbook remix on an HP Mini 110-1030NR and wireless works fine. Can't get the sound to work worth beans. Microphone is locked in mute and I can't hear any sound when playing movies...had to download all the codecs too as the remix doesn't come with any. So, really not sure if it's the movies and codecs that are the problem or the sound itself. I was going to try the different music drivers to see if this solved the problem.

How can you test it with the live CD if there is no optical drive. Probably want to use it from a USB thumb drive.

Well, you could connect an external CD drive, but it's certainly a good idea to run UNR from a bootable USB drive. Some helpful documentation and download pages for doing so:

How about webcam, is it working under 8.10 version?
If it loads with 2G ram, can I use vmware and add XP guest to this?

I tried Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha on the Mini 1000, and the webcam works using Cheese. I have not tested it with Ubuntu 8.10 and not on the Mini 110, but I assume it should work too.

My experience with the predecessor model is pretty good. I've had no problems connecting to the internet, I wouldn't call it slow either, and don't understand what you mean by "you can't download nothing."
Your criticism is not helpful at all, maybe it would be if you talked more precisely about your problems, but maybe you only want to bash this particular device.

There is no problem to connect to Internet!
I am using this mini for almost one month now.. the one with N280 atom chipset. Its working fine for wirelss network (I haven't got any chance to check ethernet). I downloaded several files...adobe and other media files.. absolutely not problem.
If at all I have a dissatisfaction with this netbook, that this comes with windows 7 starter version which sucks.. with limitted option.. even I can't change my desktop background. I am frustrated with this, and thats why I landed in this site to look for an alternative OS from linux for my netbook.
Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR)
Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) should work fine with your HP Mini 110. It's a very good Linux distro optimized for netbooks. On the UNR hardware compatibility page it reads for the HP Mini 110:
Thanks! Your idea was
Thanks! Your idea was helpful. I am almost convinced with UNR, but I will wait until the new year. Since, this is the only computer with me at the moment I don't like the idea of impaired SD card reader. I will try it once I got my New Macbook pro in the New Year.
Anyway Thanks a lot!

I'm using mine right now and its working like magic, setting up network took less than a minute.

Cannot get it to connect or download? Methinks PEBKAC. Got mine as an experimental plaything and it's brilliant for the niche it fills. Good build quality and surprisingly sprightly with the 1.6GHz Atom and SSD. Certainly exceeded my expectations, but it isn't the kind of thing to replace a serious laptop or desktop rig (duh). These things can be had dirt cheap now, too. They really are very simple to get connected and off and running, so perhaps stick to your pen and paper. You'll be happier that way.

I'm having a problem with my HP netbook running Mi. I am unable to install downloaded programs through the terminal. Was this feature disabled by HP? How can I re-enable it? OR, is there a way to move downloaded programs into the add/remove programs and install that way?
I don't think the netbook was intended to be used this way, so it's not really a problem, per se, more of an annoyance.
Thanks!

Can you access the terminal but cannot install programs via apt-get or can't you access the terminal?
Has anyone successfully
Has anyone successfully restored the software on an HP Mini 110 to the HP Linux build?
When I tried it using downloaded software and procedure on HP website, the restored software froze part way through boot up.
Sought HP help.
They had me self test the SSDD via the bios, (message "Not Support") then said PC faulty, would replace SSDD under warranty.
Lots of delay in repair (repairer couldn't get software to reload).
Eventually came back working but with primary user name already set - not my name.
Did reload of software again. Identical situation to initial problem.
Repairer now says recovery software on website faulty - send back for reload. Fine but what happens when unit out of warranty.
Any similary experience?

I love Ubuntu
I have been using Ubuntu Netbook remix from past 4 months, it suits for the netbook. Its working peacefully (except some glitches in network connection). I loved it.
Has anyone successfully
Has anyone successfully installed ANY operating system on this netbook via USB?
I have tried to boot both openSUSE and Fedora live USBs to no avail.
Fedora gets about 1/3 of the way through the little logo and freezes.
openSUSE starts to check my USB device after initially booting and decides it doesn't like it.
I would try installing an OS to a blank hard drive, but I'm too worried that if I take off the current XP, I won't be able to replace it.
I'm having the same problem!
I'm having the same problem! The original Mi that came installed on it got corrupted and I've been trying to install UNR, but it won't install properly off the USB even though I can run the OS from the USB drive and it works perfectly.
