Hey people!
I've been screwing around with ubuntu lately on an old old old laptop of mine and I must say, I like it. Now I want to put it on my xps m1530 to dual boot with vista and I have a couple questions.
1. I was planning on using the vista disk shrink tool to make some space for ubuntu. Is that the best way to go about it?
2. Is it true that pressing the media direct button after installation will turn my laptop into nothing more than an expensive paperweight? I never use that button anyway, but just in case it accidentally gets bumped.
