Short answer - no.
Longer answer - yes, maybe, with some work. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...gma500-818354/

I recently had to get one of these things working on a netbook. I honestly wouldn't bother with slack - too much work.
I settled for UNE (Ubuntu netbook edition) - seems to work o.k, dodgy Broadcom wifi included. Arch might be another option if you really want to avoid Canonical. You'll need to play in AUR, but is documented in the (Arch) wiki.
