VIA Binaries MUST be used for a pleasant experience.

There are minor problems with non-working mic, unstable falling into suspend and wi-fi not always waking up after resume. <<BR>>
Known issues:
 * [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/netbook-remix/+bug/358793|358793]] - UNR jaunty: Slow menu interface, high CPU load (workaround by using traditional menus: Preferences-> Switch Desktop Mode. However, this will turn Ubuntu Netbook Remix into an ordinary Ubuntu Desktop).
 * [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/365688|365688]] - Mic doesn't work in jaunty for VIA VT1708 High Definition Audio
 * [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/233920|233920]] - Sleep on lid close work only 1 time

Fix available for issues:

 * [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/359291|359291]] - Broadcom wi-fi card doesn't work after suspend/hibernate
 * [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/355918|355918]] - resolution problem starting X with the wlan network controler activated - Fixed in Karmic Koala in openchrome 1:0.2.903+svn758-0ubuntu1

[Dirk-Heine Hofstede] I installed it at my HP mini-note 2133, and except that the UNR interface reacts slow ([[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-openchrome/+bug/358793|workaround available]]) I didn't encounter any problems so far. My wi-fi card just ran normal and made connection again after I woke my mini up(I have done this only once yet). I didn't use the build in microphone yet, so I can't say anything about that.

[Dipock Das] I also installed it on my HP mini-note 2133 and did not have any problems. The WIFI runs fine even after suspend/hibernate.

[lean-mini] I updated my Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Karmic Koala to 9.10, the update ran alone, and why in a moment I switched off the wifi, data was saved and reconnect everything was running fine.
While at first the touchpad was a little stuck, restarting solved the little problem. Although in the beginning you could hear the sound of drums, then do not reproduced sound. Just an update with the manager and reboot for this to be solved (or at least it happened to me, not if related). Everything is working well.
