writing this post from a Compaq Mini 701ES with ubuntu. Yesterday my girlfriend gave it to me and not 10 minutes late or install Ubuntu. I will report my findings and some tricks to make it fully functional with ubuntu.
First I installed the 8.10 (in this version was all), soon to ask me to update to the jaunty and began to stop working a few things, such as ethernet and sound. Looking this morning I found a way to solve these two minor glitches.
The first, "ethernet".
We must add the NEXT command to the kernel boot command.
"acpi_os_name = Linux"
To do this we just need to edit the following file / boot / grub / menu.lst and add to the default boot option that line in the kernel option, in my case has been well :
kernel / boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-generic root = UUID = 9cc58738-55be-4805-af5f-ro quiet splash 9905a343a34e acpi_os_name = Linux
Second step: "Sound."
For this, the steps are more complicated, the way to tell:
cd ~
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.19.tar.bz2
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.19.tar.bz2
wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/utils/alsa-utils-1.0.19.tar.bz2
tar xjf alsa-driver-1.0.19.tar.bz2
tar xjf alsa-lib-1.0.19.tar.bz2
tar xjf alsa-utils-1.0.19.tar.bz2
cd alsa-driver-1.0.19
./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)
make
sudo make install
cd ..
cd alsa-lib-1.0.19
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
cd alsa-utils-1.0.19
./configure
make
sudo make
install
# Finally, edit file alsa-base.conf
sudo gedit / etc / modprobe.d / alsa-base.conf These
# Add lines: options snd-PCSP
index =- 2 snd-card alias
-0 snd-hda-intel alias sound
-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model = dell-m4-1
options snd-hda-intel = 1
enable_msi
If any build commands above give us error is that we do not have the linux headers, we will have to descargarnorlas.
wget sudo aptitude install build-essential ncurses-dev libncurses5-dev gettext linux-headers-$ (uname-r)
After these steps we will have fully functioning netbook ubuntu. All other hardware works fine (camera, wifi, ...). bluettoh Also comment that work seamlessly hotkeys volume up / down and hibernate.
In conclusion
The netbook is amazing, looks great too rounded, the screen has a high gloss and looks spectacular. As a small stick comment to be dying to stick to buy an adapter to extend the display and input / audio output is shared by a single connector jack in the style of the latest Apple laptops. Interestingly
a button above the trac-pad that void, with a mission to help write without touching the trac-pad and you leave the pointer. If you only need to work with the keyboard or connect a USB mouse is a useful option.
For the following analysis will explain how to connect a 3G USB modem in our case will test the HUAWEI E156G. Also make an analysis of wifi cracking tools used for this netbook (With the invaluable help of Lizares;)).

Thanks Anita, for my awesome gift.
