    Just Installed Ubuntu on Laptop

    Just installed Ubuntu on my Acer (Centrino) laptop.

    All I can say is, wow. A lot easier than it used to be. Even got my wireless card working (though I can't seem to find WPA encryption support anywhere). Anyway, if anyone was thinking of trying it, there's really nothing stopping you anymore.

    Give it a go.

    Here here, I've not tried Ubuntu yet but Linux is certainly ready for the desktop now, the improvements compared to a couple years ago are just outstanding!

    Suse Pro 9.2 & Xandros OS3 are the most polished distro's i've yet used. Been a Suse user for years.

    Heard good things about Ubuntu, will give it a whirl on the shuttle at some point.
