Arch on HP Mini 1000/Mi Edition?

I'm thinking of buying one and running arch on it. Was wander if everything (hardware) work with linux.

So does anyone own the mini 1000 or the mi edition? Has anyone installed arch on it? Any other distros?

thanks

Re: Arch on HP Mini 1000/Mi Edition?

I have this netbook and it works ok with Arch. Some notes:

- You need a hybrid driver for the broadcom wireless adapter. It's in AUR.
- You need kernel 2.6.29 for sound to work out of the box, though still has a few niggles (mostly I didn't get the mic to work).

Apart from those details, everything works fine with Arch.
