I doubt you would have much luck with those specs. :)

The main gripe I have is power managment is still pretty moody on my laptop. I'm sure that will eventually get fixed though.

Not bad, one true complaint compared to the long list of things I don't...

The ppa worked great for me.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with sleep issues. Hibernate luckily seems to work ok for me atm. Sleep refuses to wake up and requires a forced restart.

+1 for frostwire.

I couldn't agree more.

If I'm not mistaken, you would need to reinstall the whole system.

As stated previously you will see people on both sides of the fence.
I tend to prefer having the 64bit system myself.

There are several threads here on compiling software just do a quick search. :)

First. Welcome to the crazy house. LOL. JK.

If you go to your Applications Menu You should have an option for Ubuntu software center. If you cant find what you want there check System >...

Ah. Excellent, this is just what I needed.

Thanks!

Thanks! This worked wonders for my dodgy wireless card.

Very nice.

You could always run office from a vm like virtual box.

I have no stability issues in 9.04. I would give the 904 livecd a whirl.

type sudo before the command.
