will the latest Ubuntu be fine on my eeePC 900 on the 4GB SSD?

considering to either run it fully on the eeePC or maybe look at running it from a 4GB SD card (Class 6).

i'm using ubuntu 9.04. everything works fine as long as u have internet connection. for the nvidia 9100m driver, google on the internet, there's a lot of guide there

HP does sell wif Linux OS. Call HP call centre for more details

Hi, I'm new to linux.

I just installed Ubuntu 8.1 for my Compaq.

Anyway, is there any compatible issue to install Open Suse for Compaq? I tried installing, and after Welcome screen and I chose installation, display goes blank/dark.

Ubuntu working just fine.

dell xps m1330 work well with fedora, only arch linux still have some minor issue but oledi fix

hi, if you want to run linux operating system, you can select your choice with:

1. running dual operating system (linux + windows)

2. running single operating system (linux)

Please bear in mind, although linux is very powerful, most software available in the market associates most with microsoft, unless you have two laptops, you can choose to install single operating system.

i suggest you to install ubuntu 9.04 and above. Ubuntu is the most easy graphical user interface (gui). you can get open office as replacement for microsoft office. but, my experience with open office always made me miserable, all settings that i'd done in microsoft word need to be re-edit in open office.

i've ran ubuntu 9.04 my HP 4410s with GMA x4500HD gpu. everything works well except that i am having problem with the display. it will not restore to it's native 1338 x 768 resolution. when i did and restarted, there is no display.

help, anyone?

i use CentOS 5.3 on Dell Latitude D630.

seem fine as can use it compile redhat compatible binary (rpm files).

client happy.. me also happy ~

Used to run Fedora 11 on IBM ThinkPad R51, Now left IBM ThinkPad X40 running Ubuntu 9.04. Excellent performance all the way!

Try updating your GC driver. My desktop wasn't showing the proper resolutoin too, not until I updated my GC. I think GC update for Ubuntu is always very easy unless if you're using other distro.

my laptop running with ubuntu 9.04 right now,
all hardware running good,
but while running on ubuntu 8.04 (hardy),and debian (dont remember which version) , i need to compile some driver like wireless and nvidia graphic card..

Hey, I am going to get a laptop which can support both windows and Linux, do u have any suggestion? is tat all laptop can support it? I also not sure which Linux OS i would use..

Btw, i never use Linux b4, i am a win 98 and xp user only...

Thanks..

usually nowadays all computer/notebook can supported by linux os(linux kernel)

ok...any recommend linus OS and software as a beginner. I need some guide here. sorry for the noob questions..

Ubuntu is the most user friendly so far. I think... But you should wait 'till 29 Oct for Karmic Koala to release.

My suggestion, get yourself a latest livecd/liveusb with a latest kernel.
Latest kernel is important because all the latest modules(driver) is there.
Then test booting that livecd/usb before you buy.
If the tokay does not allow you test before you buy... walk away..go to other shop that allow you to do that.
Do some checking on hardware.
If everything works ... buy that laptop.

Karmic Koala is an update release of Ubuntu, which happens twice a year.

Kernel is the core of the OS, managing resource and device interaction. Latest kernel would probably has a more updated version of the device drivers, therefore better support for newer hardware.

...don't get tied down with others suggestions mate... some would 'say' ubuntu is friendly this, friendly that but I start off my students/friends/clients with fedora and they have no problems with it... I am not saying one is better than the other (*coughFedorarockscough* !!!), just saying you should do some more research yourself first... as long as you use the latest kernel, you should have no problems with hardware either... but saying that, it would be a good idea if you are a beginner to stay away from the more uh... exotic flavours, since support/forums won't be as extensive as with a more established flavour e.g. Fedora, Suse and uh... Ubuntu

...have fun with the penguin mate!

OK. thanks. I'll look for the latest kernel..

Ok. there are too many type of OS, i dunno which to go. but u are right, i'll try to do some research on it 1st..

Thanks..
