These days a user of my work installed Kubuntu at their HP Mini 210 and everything worked fine except that with the Touchpad buttons I did not have the right click, only the left click activated.
The point is that this kind of Netbooks it does not have the two physically separated buttons as in other models (example the HP Mini 110), and whatever area you pressed, always towards the actions of the left click.
Synaptics was not able to fix this and searching the internet I found the solution. We open a terminal and put:
sudo su
echo options psmouse proto=exps > /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.modprobe
We reboot and ready.
I have the same model of netbook, I did not know that I could install kubuntu, I thought it would be very heavy, currently I use lubuntu. The good thing is that I don't have that problem with the touchpad.
If possible, I have KDE installed on my notebook 210 with debian ... it does not fly but it has good performance 😀

Well, I had it installed in an HP Mini 110 and well optimized, it had better performance than Xfce in many cases.
My brother just has a netbook of that model and so far he has it with Windows XP for his electronics programs. I hope I can convince you to move to Debian, since I have tried to search for Linux electronics programs and so far, I have not found it.
Hello
tell him to use what, it is a very good circuit simulator, it is useful for the subjects of circuits 1, 2 and 3, electronics 1, 2 and 3, etc.
For the calculation part, you can use python with the libraries, to replace matlab in everything, and for microcontrollers, to do odigo and compile in pic and in other architectures.
x to fpga you can make the code and simulate vhdl and veriloj.
It is a matter of getting used to using different tools and in college, do not put obstacles in the way.

you didn't even try?
Two years ago I installed kubuntu on my pc, a Pentium 4, it took a lifetime to load the desktop and even the mouse was slow, the same day I installed lubuntu. As I have an Atom N450 on my netbook I did not try it, perhaps in these years the fluency has improved, I will try to install it with debian and kde. I'll tell you how it works 🙂
Ubuntu and its derivatives have components that make it heavier. Therefore, I use Debian and it works wonders for me (and that I put GNOME 3 in it).
Restart? Why reboot? Do you use Windows !?
[code] # insmod psmouse proto = exps [/ code]
it should work…
