Hi!!!

I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 notebook. I'm planning to install Ubuntu 10.4 LTS in it. Would the OS work fine?

Below is the link to the specification of the notebook,

Why not try the live version to see if all works. Or just install but let ubuntu install beside whatever you have on there,

Thank you guys!

@ Peter - I'm still in the process of downloading the OS. So, I will be able to run the live only after I burn it to a disk.

Will revert if I get stuck with the installation.

@Peter and Dino,

Thanks a ton for your help.
I'm thrilled to inform you that I have successfully installed Ubuntu 10.4 and it works so smooooth :).,

A quick question,

Which version of Adobe flash player should I download to play videos on Youtube???

i own a a satellite a135 and tried running 10.4 via live flash drive and it boots fine but i try to open an application and it freezes up on me so i guess my question is:Is there a minimum ram or cpu requirement for 10.4

@Crusty,

My notebook is with a 2GB RAM.
I think it would work fine in you laptop though it has a 1GB RAM.

Assuming you installed 32-bit Ubuntu you should be able to install Flash from the normal Ubuntu software installers (e.g. apt-get, synaptic, etc). If it's 64-bit, then you'll probably have to manually download the 64-bit Beta from Adobe's web site.
