And Linux on HP Pavilion s3130.nl
This will be short. I got my hands also on HP s3130.nl. It is same kind of PC as s3240 but based on Intel compared to AMD platform. Here is how Linux runs on it.

Even thou it is same kind of PC like s3240, you can see that there is a lot of differences. Intel seems smoother a boots faster - few seconds less (due to defragmented copy of Fedora from s3240). Also there seems to be less problems with HW at all - installation of i686 version was fluent, nVidia graphics is working OOTB. TVtuner is the same one = same problems, wlan is USB :( but is detected too (did not tested if it works). PS: I solved the problems with s3240 now just by setting USB Legacy Support off in BIOS... s3240 boots i686 faster then s3120 - this is inverse situation - it is a defragmented copy from s3120 - fragmentation does a lot.. it seems.
I’ve the same minipc — did you have any luck getting the wireless adapter to work on Linux? As I wrote this is rt73 usb card. From kernel 2.6.25 the module rt73 is in main kernel. For this card to work you need also rt73usb-firmware – at least this is the name of this package for Fedora (is in fedora repo).
