Well, my first Ubuntu workstation is up and running. After a narrow escape from the evil clutches of bizarro-world (M$), I fearlessly formatted the box (after careful backups - :???: ) and setup Breezy Badger... Aside from a couple of slight wrinkles ](*,) Lexmark and a webcam, specifically (which I still haven't gotten figured out)...
I'm turning my attention to my laptop, which also needs liberating. It's a Dell Inspiron 8600 with the following configuration:
Intel 82855PM Processor
512M RAM
40Gb Ultra ATA drive
cd/dvd reader/writer
USB 1.1 and 2.0
Firewire 1394 controller
Broadcom ethernet
Intel PRO wireless (IPW2100)
AC'97 controller (audio/modem)
nVidia NV34M [GeForce FX Go 5200]
Texas Instruments PCI4510 PC card Cardbus Controller
Does anyone know of any "gotcha's" with putting Ubuntu 5.10 on this system?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
So far, my searches haven't turned up much to say that it wouldn't work, but I thought I'd ask here as well, since someone may have already installed Ubuntu on one of these and seen something that I haven't yet...
