The IdeaPad S12 has a Nano processor by VIA.  It's a 64-bit, x86 compatible processor, so you can either install 32-bit x86 or 64-bit x86.  Since 64-bit is still flaky I went for 32-bit.

I got an IdeaPad S12 for Christmas! I'm going to install Ubuntu Karmic on it. This page will record my adventures.

Prior art

  • The Ubuntu Wiki claims it "Works very well", but recommends nosplash as a kernel option
  • This forum thread claims that dual-boot doesn't work well. I won't be testing this case.
