Hello all, just some info to add, I too have a 13" Airbook 6.2 i5

Basically I can use Ubuntu 13.04 and most things work, like networking, mouse pad with 3 fingers, 3D affects etc.

Things that do not work: Wifi, Sound, SMP

Linux 3.8.0-29-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 13 19:40:39 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

In /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noapic nosmp reboot=\"bios\" acpi_osi=\"Linux\" libata.force=\"1:noncq\""
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

I did also try newer kernels, 3.10, 3.11 but they do not boot.

I have not applied any firmware updates yet.

The hardware is brand new so I anticipated some problems running Ubuntu, but it's lovely running Ubuntu on a Airbook, even in a half broken state.
