I don't know if this is LL or Ubuntu related but I installed LL 3.6b x32 on an old 1GB Atom netbook this weekend without a problem, this time
.
It had LL 2.8 x32 previouly (before v3) but I had to mess around with drivers quite a lot since the crappy Broadcom WiFi BC43xx gave a lot of problems at the time. Unfortunately, the HDD was needed in another computer so the Netbook was put in the closet Abyss.
Got my hand on a replacement HDD this weekend so I installed LL 3.6b. The WiFi card was not seen but using the ethernet I did the updates and LL gave me a choice of WiFi drivers so I Used the "Recommended" one and everything went A-1.
I did not benchmark LL 2.2 at the time so I don't know if 3.6 is better/faster on this Atom turtle though. :-P
