Hi
I`m writing this for my husband, due to his dyslexia.
Well, actually, due to the dyslexia and his/our current Japanese studies he bought this nice little Vaio VGN-UX2 last week. It`s small so he can easily carry it with him and even use during class. Some of the features included are touch screen, 2 cameras, a Japanese keyboard (Ofcourse), bluetooth, fingerprint reader and wireless internet.
The problem is that we believed the OS was windows XP, which would be quite logical considering it`s 1.06 ghz cpu and 30 gb hdd. However, some jock at sony though it would be a good idea to squeeze windows vista home premium into this poor little machine. An OS that takes up 18 gb, and makes the computer suffer greatly just from something as simple as solitare. It`s actually lagging when surfing the net!... in firefox with adblock activated!
And that actually brings us to the question I had.
Is it possible to put ubuntu into this machine, without loosing too much of, what to call them, features? I mean, he can live without the touch screen, but we`d really like the wireless network to work, as well as the webcam if possible.
Has anyone actually done this and what should we do to get it to work? I`m quite a newbie... -.-
Thank you in advance!

I found a website with the specs for this computer if it helps.
