Hello all,
I just downloaded the Ubuntu MID image from
http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-mid-lpia.img

and "dd"ed the image on to a 2 GB USB flash disk. I booted an HP thin client t5720 ( AMD Geode NX1500 1.0 GHz Flash 512MB RAM 1 GB ) I plugged in the WiFi. Everything works great. I could connect to my wireless network. use pidgin for chat and browse the mid browser. It looks great on my 23 inch HP L2335.

However I couldnt connect to my bluetooth keyboard. When I try to do a hcitool scan it says, inquiry timed out ?

Hoping to play around with the MID realise to see if i can actually use it as my default media center. Right now I use canola (pretty good but not enough functionality). I did try elise. But without DRI it was rlly slow.

It will be cool to have my LCD running the same OS as my MID !
