Hello all,

I just ordered a xps m1530 from dell with ubuntu preinstalled. does anyone know if there are any problems with they system before I open the box. i've been searching around and haven't found anything. also, can i upgrade to ibex with no problems?

There shouldnt be any problem if DELL ships your laptop with Ubuntu (would be very unprofesional otherwise :P)

The only thing I can think of is the HD load cycle, if you hear "clicks" from your HD, write back here and weäll fix it.

What is the "clicks" fix? I think I hear some faint clicks on my new install, I have a 320GB seagate that I recently bought.
