Hacking
Has anyone ever installed x64 Ubuntu (probably going for 18.04 Bionic Beaver) on a netbook?
Its a 4GB dual core Atom with a recent graphics chip and I've also replaced the terrible wifi card with something a bit less primitive (Scotty voice) and ripped out the blue LEDs.
It does have Bluetooth on the card but a second unit isn't out of the question and adding diskless cold boot via 128Mbit BIOS chip and SD via webcam interface would be handy.
Interesting note: the majority of problems with cheaper netbooks are simple overheating, I have determined that simple overvoltage to the fan (normally +5V) or second HDD fan will give a bit more cooling.
Also replacing the switching regulators with more modern equivalents and adding active filters reduces RF noise a lot, should really document this mod on Hackaday.
