No, but you will need to install lirc, try setting it up as a Windows MCE remote. It is generic, I like those answers from Tech support, generic what would be my response. I started to look at it and set it up as mentioned above (Windows MCE remote) and used command sudo showkey -s to find out the values of the key depresses. But after working with so mnay different keymaps in the past, I decided to just add a MS compatible dongle and be done with it. The remote that came with it works OK as a semi keyboard. If they would have put hard keys there (arrows) for regular navigation and put a little thumbstick for mouse navigation it could be a great little remote.

Hey I've been experimenting with this jetway nettop and have got my system pritty completed. Most of this is not my work, thanks to Speed3229 for helping me get sound working (using his method didn't work perfectly for me but I'm sure my method works if followed exactly).
What I got working
+HDMI sound
+wifi
+suspend / wol
Whats not working
*IR remote (about 1/3 of the buttons work as of now)

I have just installed Linux Mint Julia (10), 64bit version. All I had to do was update Linus and the nvidia driver, per Mint's suggestion. Then, I only created the sound.conf file per the instructions above (copied here below)
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
------------------------
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=0xfff2
------------------------
I have audio over HDMI upon reboot ! Simple... Hope it keeps working.

2 days later, still working perfectly. I only needed to add lirc (sudo apt-get install lirc) so the Windows remote would work well. Great little machine. Very quiet !

what about power on/off via the remote - does it work?

with minimal install ubuntu this works out of the box so should work for mint, which is based on ubuntu but has extra stuff built in., also mouse by remote work, but not every button out of the box.

Sorry, do not use remote power on/off, so I could not confirm.
It is a great little machine. Very quiet. Much quieter than my Zotac MAG.

Thats what I did too but other than the mouse, power and sound buttons, no other button work.
Now I even have a bigger problem because the remote will only move mouse cursor and left or right clicks dont respond anymore after that - even using a usb mouse! As soon as I use the remote, I need to reboot... I re-installed Mint Linux 10 and even on a vanilla system the remote breaks click functionality. Any ideas??

Does not boot cleanly.
I get 'ata1.00: Exception Emask' on boot.
Boot process then pauses, and restarts on tty2 with ubuntu in low graphics mode.
The Emask error looks like a kernel bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462425#c80
I dont want to launch x in tty2 from here, but just stay at run level 2 at the command prompt.
The good news is I can cancel the x low-graphics nonsense, and them xbmc from the command prompt to start perfectly. IE, xorg.conf IS configured correctly. HDMI working perfectly.
Questions are:
1. How to overcome Emask error on boot.
2. How to launch xbmc cleanly from boot. I guess I'll remove txbmc from grub menu and rc.local instead.

Soory, I'm not an expert on this and couldn't help you with that specific problem. I actually just used the instructions above to install onto a usb stick and got a perfect running system. I actually edited the instructions recently to remove the wifi cause I wasn't getting smooth high bitrate streaming over wifi anyway. I could recommend reinstalling again and following my instructions exactly but that could be a major pain.
