Have you tried Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity interface ? If not, does Mint runs smooth in graphical effects on your APU? As i`ve seen here it kinda runs great. Can you tell me more ?
I haven't tried Unity on it yet. I tried Mint 12 w/ Gnome3 yesterday. At first there were some bugs after installing the GPU drivers, transparency was bright pink and text was messed up. But after some restarts it got working. I ended up rolling back to Mint11 w/ Gnome2, I didn't like the Gnome3 experience. I'll give it a try again in 6 months.
The APU seems to run great under Mint11 with various Compiz settings enabled. Good FPS during animations and the such.
yea i installed mint 12 yesterday, really enjoyed it came from ubuntu, but after the drivers were installed the texted was messed up. what did u do just keep restarting? and it just fixed itself?
I kept having issues with Mint12's new gnome UI, the text was jagged with lines missing and it was crashing. I ended up returning to Mint 11 for the old UI and it's been working alright since. I'll try Mint again in 13, for now I'm avoiding 12.
Installation of Mint on my x120e always fails near the end (Grub2 install?). Do you have any tips for completing a Mint installation on this machine? Thanks.
I have the exact same setup except mine is a 60GB Vertex 2. I run into the same problem every time, "No Operating System Found". I used to have Windows 7 Installed on it. Do you happen to have a walk through I can follow?
For some reason using Crunchbang Linux I can't seem to detect my wifi at all. In fact I can't even install wifi drivers for the wifi in it because it says it doesn't detect my wifi card.
I know they are wrong though, considering I'm posting this from windows 7 on the same machine. It's sad, because this thing is fucking amazing, however I can't, for the sake of battery life, use a distro like Mint or Ubuntu
It's like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place =\ such is linux
@The1PublicEnemy Those aren't light enough for a netbook, really. Try Arch or Gentoo. That's where all the real speed is. I bet that with an SSD, Arch would boot in 3 seconds. I'm going to try that some day.

Nice video, thanks! Is that vanilla mint11 or debian? Have you tried to connect a secondary monitor or tv via hdmi?
