The first thing I did was install Ubuntu 8.10. Ubuntu works flawlessly on the Mini 1000 without any special tweaks or proprietary drivers (though Ubuntu offers them).

One of the display hinges was broken, i had to unscrew the complete thing to replace it, including the glued display frame.
This thing is so fragile.. i would call it "arrogant engineering", as every single part tells you that you have no chance to remove it.
What a contrast to my thinkpad, it’s designed to be easily repaired with little effort.

that’s great to hear! I just got one of these and plan to wipe xp and install ubuntu on it when I’ve got time. I’m also planning to get either one of these or, if I’m feeling really adventurous, one of these to pull apart and stick in the proprietary storage drive port since it’s just a usb port in disguise.
From what little poking around I have done, it appears that the system is compatible with SDHC cards in addition to standard SD cards, so you could easily up the storage that way as well. I plan to buy one eventually, but for what I bought the system for, the 16GB is more than enough. Another great feature of Linux is a much less bloated install base.
im looking at buying a t41 how do you like yours? would you recomend it? thanks
definitley, very solid devices. go for a 1400×1050 screen. but be careful, some have the so called "flexing problem", a common fault where the graphics chip comes loose from the mainboard.
ok thanks. hopefully since i’ll be buying one thats off lease the graphics card’ll be in the tight. thanks
