Or does one need to mod a few things ? For the Intel based ones generally a plain x86-32 distribution. It's a win to compile a custom kernel optimised for Atom, and ditto glibc so that you get the later instruction optimisations. Be careful which Dell mini and do your research on compatibility. A lot of the netbooks have unsupported broadcom wireless devices, and the Dell mini-10 also has unsupported video (the 10v has more 'normal' video) Another problem is that a lot of the touchpads on mini laptops suck so try, test and see. I have a Dell mini-9 which actually gets used as a firewall/router (small, built in console screen, built in UPS !) where the wireless doesn't work and the touchpad isn't great, and a Samsung NC-10 with real hard disk which has become my travelling box and runs a full Fedora. Definitely try before you buy...
