Hello Folks,
I bought a new Toshiba Satelitte P205D. It has Vista on it and I HATE IT. I installed Ubuntu 7.10, but got a lot of stuff that did not work. ( ie: wireless not recognized, ATI drivers, Power management issues, etc.)
I asked about this before and was given a couple of links that seemed way to complicated for me. So here are 2 questions.
1)Will Hardy take care of most of these issues (since it is LTS)
2)If not, is there a simple way to resolve them.
HELP. I want out of the MS Vista world as quickly a possible. My old laptop had Ubuntu 7.10 on it and I miss it. Having shelved out money for this new machine, I want the benefits of the new hardware and Ubuntu.
Thanks, Loyaleagle:
