Ubuntu 8.10 on Dell Mini?

[submute]

My Dell Mini arrives today, and ideally I'd like to install a fresh Ubuntu 8.10 copy on it, rather than working with whatever Dell has concocted for me. I'm wondering if this is possible - if there are any weird hardware issues or something that will cause headaches.

Thanks.

one line of edit to get the sound working otherwise 8.10 is soooooo much better IMHO

Ermm should I be going for the 32 or 64 bit version of 8.10 for a Dell Mini? (Inspiron Intel 910 Atom)

Atom processor is 32 bits. Better stick with 32 bits Ubuntu.
