Apparently the mini 10 requires a pile of binary only drivers, and hence
is running a hacked up job of ubuntu, and does not work if you try to
install anything else without a lot of work getting those binary only
drivers to run.  It apparently uses the new intel chip that they made
using a bought graphics core rather than using their own.  Linux support
is hence awful at this time.

Oh, and it's a Dell computer, so well, no thanks.
