So hey, I am one of those crazy people who actually like Vista. BUT, I'm not feeling like keeping it around so much, want to switch to Ubuntu on my Eee 1005HA.
It's going to be a USB install, nothing too special, I was actually in the process of installing a minute ago until I realized... I had a lot of stuff on my hard drive already. Oops.
Well, I've got to ask... I can mount my other partition just fine and browse files and stuff. I'm wondering - can I just grab my files, store them on the Live session, let Ubuntu install completely over the hard drive, and then move my stuff back onto the Ubuntu install? That should be simple enough, right?
Other questions I have, but are irrelevant to the thread and you don't need to read them unless you want to:
- I use Nero HomeMedia as a media server, and I've heard there is some other free program called PS3 media server or something that does the same thing and can handle my 360. Does my memory serve me right or am I completely off?
- Would anyone happen to know if there are any certain programs or software or drivers I need to install specific to my netbook? I've heard there is a eee package somewhere... Not exactly sure where though.
- In the Live session, I noticed most of my hot keys worked but didn't test them all. Any other software for that?
