My Setup

Currently I have the Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Beta running on my machine (http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/kubuntu/9.04/)
My current setup is as follows:
/ (root) directory on SSD in EXT4 with no SWAP partition
/home directory on 8GB SDHC card in the left card reader in EXT4 format.

The first thing I had to worry about after install was getting the wireless to work. I had to finagle with the following to get it to work:
- First I had to install linux-backports-modules-jaunty per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne community documentation.
- I blacklisted ath_wmi and ath_pci and added ath5k to the modules list. append to your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file.
blacklist ath_wmi
blacklist ath_pci
append to your /etc/modules file
ath5k
- If the above doesn't work, mess with the madwifi drivers enabling in jockey (after I had first selected them, I deselected them), but I would not mess with this unless it's not working for you at this point.
