I would like to report that I have a new HP Mini 1010NR, I was unable to load Ubuntu via usb flash drive. I simply connected a DVD drive and booted from the DVD and that was it, since then I have been able to run Ubuntu successfully and I think I have only crashed it once or twice. This was due to an abundance of open programs and different processes running. The only thing I have upgraded on the Mini is ram, it came with 512 and I upgraded to 2Gb.

Any questions?

We installed 8.10 on our HP2133. It runs smooth except for the wrong resolution. Thinking of upgrading to Jaunty soon.Wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HP2133#) still doesn't say something about Jaunty. Our main machine is running smoother by the hour with 9.04 Beta.
