Hi all

After much trial and error I finally got an OS on my RB-110. I used Ubuntu server 10.04 and followed the guide for installing Ubuntu 9.04 via virtual machine. This works a treat after you install gnome and set the ethernet and dhcp to work on boot, you also dont get all the other stuff like open office or the games.

If anybody needs any help pm me. I might build an iso that you can just burn to your own SD card (using 8Gb class 6) so it'll just work, need to figure out how to do that first tho.
