Hi everyone.
I've just acquired sony vaio c series and ubuntu unleashed 2011 book about three weeks ago. Maybe the book is quite tough for me right now but hopefully not in the long run. I'm kinda scared to experiment on my own without prior advice (due to warranty thingy and lack of confidence) so I'd appreciate if someone could guide me here.
My vaio specs can be found here: http://www.sony.com.my/product/vpcca15fg/sku/vpcca15fg_b+e1
I'm kinda worried about the drivers and other configurations coz it got something like ATI catalyst auto-switchable graphic cards, other extra interfaces like shared slot for memory stick and SD memory card, microphone mini jack, etcs.
Also I'd like to know if it's possible to install using wubi on this old normal specs HP desktop machine:
Windows XP Professional SP2, Pentium D 3.4GHz, 488MB of RAM
Which one is better, dual-boot or wubi for my vaio? I'd like to know if it's possible to use flash drive to 'practise' ubuntu without installing it directly inside my vaio.
Thank you for the patient to help a newbie like me :)
