Eh, might as well give it a try...

Installed Ubuntu 11.10 from a thumb drive, using the startup disk creator found with 11.04.

Managed to get it to finally boot, and install after setting the "acpi=off" boot flag.

Now, it's...

My only guess is there's some other file it checks for. Makes me with I had a Chromebook now...

Was directed at "lessmemorelove" since we already had went over what he mentioned.

I would love to find a way to make this work though. One less reason to keep Windows around.

Even with the plugins, it doesn't work. Read the thread.

I have, same result. Doesn't detect the Netflix plugin.

Odd, for me it either never shows up in Plugins, or the page crashes...

Final build. Just making sure there are no incompatibilities or anything, no problems with the build.

I've got an old copy of CS3 lying around.

Thanks for all the input though.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

If you have any input on the build, I'd be happy to hear it.

Not quite understanding what you mean for the motherboard.

Also, I put together another build, opinions? Still need a PSU, but I'll probably take the suggestion above.

Changed some things around, for people checking back. Price was a tad too high

I know I've posted here before, basically asking the same thing, but now that I'm buying the parts in the next week...

13"

The T20 is the same.

The one with the cracked LCD is a ThinkPad T20 (can't get more specific then that.)

The current one, is a ThinkPad T23.

Very very tempting actually. I have an older thinkpad (t20) where the LCD is cracked. Is it possible to salvage the backlight from that? and if so, know any good guides for that?

As I've said, the backlight is shot, so the screen is basically useless. I'll probably just go with the server.

That's definitely one of the things I've been considering. Especially since my last one died. xD

Pentium III @ 1.2Ghz
512MB RAM

I recently got an old ThinkPad, but am unsure of what to really do with it.

The battery life is next to none, so it has to be plugged in at all times, and the backlight is dead.

I've currently...

Saw this type of thread on a different forum, and didn't see it here. (although I may be mistaken...)

Anyways, it's simple, I'm just curious as to the setups of other Ubuntu users here. :)
...

So, I'm looking for a new monitor to replace my current one, an old, hulking CRT...

Any suggestions of good brands? Sizes? Things of that nature?

Doesn't fit my budget in the slightest. I think I'll just stick with what I have for now. Thanks anyway!

Probably have to take a look then...

Yeah, that may be so, but the current motherboard and CPU come together, and seem to be a lot cheaper then a separate intel CPU and supporting motherboard.

If I'm wrong, and there's something that...

So, something like this?

EDIT: Actually, due to my current budget, how is this in comparison?...
