Default Ubuntu on Mini 311

Hey all i just installed ubuntu on my HP Mini 311 (via windows, didnt feel like dealing with a partitioner) and i wanted to let you know that when you get asked about the drivers use the following for the wireless and video card. These will be listed in Hardware Drivers

Use the Broadcom STA wireless driver.

The nvidia one that is the only one availible will work with the ion.

Can Ubuntu use hardware accelerated video playback with the ION?

i doubt any linux software is written for a specific computer but due to its lighter footprint it shouldnt be difficult.

I will say the video playback of sd content is a lot more stable and less prone to memory issues
