Lenovo usually has very nice 12" 14" and 15" thinkpads available on their website and, if you're patient, they periodically run very nice sales on their gear.
If you set up your live usb with unetbootin, then no.
Best way around this is to set it up within ubuntu using their live usb creation tool which automatically sets up a persistence file.

You have optimus hybrid graphics which is an intel card paired with an nvidia card. In windows it switches between the two to conserve power. Even the most advanced proprietary drivers don't really...
Either/Or v1 is a treat although I've never made it to the second volume. Went straight to Fear and Trembling.
My advice is to manually partition your drives during installation rather that trust things to ubiquity. I've dual-booted off and on for about 10 years and never had a problem.
One of my primary criteria is durability and almost all the ultrabooks fall short. I drag a 12" Lenovo Thinkpad with an ssd around because its small, ergonomic, efficient, inexpensive and built like...
Get an application that aggregates your news and then set up the rss feeds from the sources you that you want.
Never really liked this one although I get they're going for users who want a mac-like experience.
I was initially impressed with voyager but it became old very quickly.
As others have said, get a Thinkpad instead. They're awesome and IBM customer service is extraordinary.
Counterstrike Source runs really well, was just playing de_aztec a second ago.
More than a few...mostly to enable multimedia support on certain machines as well as a few apps that I need.
I tend to agree with these folks only in the sense that it's a little early to push Ubuntu as a gaming platform with so few games on Steam.
On the other hand I think these machines appeal to more...
Yeah, do it yourself!
That said, I'm not really sure Gnome Shell is going to satisfy you. Sounds like you're clamoring for a Gnome 2.x or Mate spin.
Sometimes Steam just needs to be restarted in order for an update to install. Sometimes it just needs to be restarted for my games to launch.
Either way, having the best proprietary driver...
Repurpose it as others have suggested or give it to someone who needs a computer but can't afford one.
Ambient.
Unless I'm reading Nietzsche, then I need Viking Metal.
I've been thinking about upgrading to a tank/mod system for regular use. I really don't care what the thing looks like so long as I can get a nic hit when I need it. I'm kind of tired of the...
I would recommend the version of Puppy Linux based on Ubuntu 12.04:

My only issue with puppy is that it is pretty sparse. Yeah, it has an extremely small...
Fair warning, optimus is more than a bit fidgety with the new kernel and doesn't work with hdmi out.
I would wait a few months if not a year to see how support for optimus shapes up.
Ok, I'm an owner of a 900a and I've had 32948203950602934 versions of linux installed on it.
1. Upgrade your drive. 4gb is extremely limiting. You can do one of two things. First, upgrade the...
You can download and install gnome shell and the advanced settings (gnome tweak) tool directly from the software center. Just log into it from the greeter.
Here is where you get your extensions:...
I agree with you. I'm typing this on my tv while lying on my couch listening to the news. I've asked this question many times without much of a response. Nonetheless, here's what I do:

I like Ubuntu but with the unity 2d in 12.04. Here are some others worth trying on that hardware:
xubuntu
lubuntu
linux mint debian edition (xfce)
