Installing Ubuntu Linux on the Samsung N120 Netbook
I finally settled on the Samsung N120 primarily due to its keyboard size, which is (to my knowledge) the biggest available for a netbook. More here
I instead opted for the Ubuntu Netbook Remix which, according to the Ubuntu Wiki, was pretty compatible. The only issue it mentioned was Wireless LAN: apparently it has problems detecting the N120’s Atheros card.
To clarify, I did not actually experience a problem with the Atheros card on the N120. I anticipated needing to tweak it since the Ubuntu Wiki indicated problems, but there did not end up being any.
