I've (I'm a teacher) tried to influence the admins of our school to the low cost of implementing Linux (i.e. Ubuntu) but it fell short because of plugged ears.
Presently I'm using a $65.00...

Great work JaseP and all of you contributors. I too am looking at the s5 but I'll only buy one if Linux can be installed and functioning properly. Best wishes, i2bgB

Has anyone had any success in installing the RedNoteBook journal in 8.04 Heron? If so, did you use a repository (which one)? I can't find it in my package manager.

At the moment, I'm using my Ubuntu laptop more than my Windows XP machine. Other than being cost free, I'm finding out that I really don't need all of the bells and whistles of XP $oftware. I'm in...

Maybe someone at http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/ will have a solution. Worth a try. gB

Puppy linux is alright but I used Xubuntu on an old Gateway with 256mg and it works great. Matter-of-fact, the person I gave this computer to loves it for web surfing and thinks the world of me...

Protege M205 runs at 41.0 degrees C
In terminal I run:

sudo toshset -fan on

I received a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop withOUT any of the original CDs. Presently, it's running WindowsXP (Home Edition). I would like to install Xubuntu 8.04 as a duel boot.

#4) black screen came...
