Now that I've found a way to enable executing Linux Apps on my portable media, I'm back to looking at Linux (namely the Buntu's) for a alternate and faster OS for my netbook.

I'm looking at...

I'm settling into Xubuntu 12.04 x64 and I've already found something annoying. I have a Microsoft mouse with a smooth scroll wheel (it doesn't "click" like other wheels), and the scrolling in Xubuntu...

Alright so I finally decided to go with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit since I already have experience with it with my Dad's powerful gaming PC (Core i5 2500K (3.4GHz X 4), 16GB, Nvidia 520TI).

So is there no fix for my card reader problem?

So any takers? I kinda would like to use my card slot so I can use the microsd I use with my cellphone and sync music between my netbook and the phone.

Alright so I pretty much have everything working that I need in Xubuntu on my Acer Aspire One D257 netbook.

That doesnt work, after 10.04 the developers of Ubuntu put their foot down after people complained about the lack of privialages preventing people from executing EVERYTHING on external devices, which...

I meant by the updating by upgrading to a newer version of xubuntu or ubuntu (like 10.04 > 12.04), not only do the new ones bog my system down, but since 10.10 ubuntu no longer allows me to run linux...

Well i guess Ill just have to do it the long way. Though, will I have to do everything I did on my portable HD to get the wireless working? I went here...

Awesome! If I had of known where to put the ucode file I would have done that already a long time ago (intel provides the ucode file that you provided, I just didnt know what to do with it).
