I've got a nice netbook and love the netbook edition with the exception of the sidebar that is everpresent. can I install the desktop edition on an HP Mini with 2 GB of RAM and it run well OR is there some way to modify the menu bar to be hidden?

I believe you can log out and choose Session: Gnome Desktop from the GDM login screen. If this is the case, reinstalling is not necessary.

But yes, Ubuntu Desktop should run equally well on any system capable of running UNE; they are the same core system underneath. Try using the Search feature to read other users' experiences with the HP Mini; I have no personal experience with that hardware.
