Never tried Lucid, this was my first go with Ubuntu, so I could have done something wrong I suppose. And it's the desktop edition I used, not the netbook version.[/citation]
Well, that's a little old for Vista or 7, so I'm assuming that you run XP. Since you already formatted the drive and don't like 10.10, try Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx 32-bit Desktop Edition. It should run better than XP, it definitely does on the Mini 10v. Though the battery/plug thing is very odd. Does XP run better on battery as well?
