    Re: What Linux Distro do you have on your laptop?

    I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit as the host operating system and Windows 7 64-bit in a dual boot configuration.

    I use VirtualBox to run Virtual Machines (VMs) on my laptop. It has 6 GB of RAM, Intel® Core™ i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50GHz × 4, and 500 GB of hard disk space for the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit host Linux OS.

    I run all sorts of distros as VMs. At any time, I may find that I have VMs available in the VirtualBox VM manager to run CentOS, Fedora,[*]ubuntu, Mint, Debain, SuSE, Arch, Puppy, BackTrack, and so forth.

    With virtualization in mind, I am not sure that I understand "What Linux Distro do you have on your laptop?" actually means.

    Use whatever OS or desktop works for you. Dual boot or use VMs if you want. Backup your computer regularly, and definitely before upgrading, partitioning, or installing an OS.

    No support requests by PM please.

    Ubuntu 12.04 with Openbox on my EeePC 900. No upgrades of any kind - just the original 1GB of RAM.
    BACKUPS are unsexy — until you discover you should have done one yesterday.
    Spare your nerves and do one before you upgrade or install.

    Just updated to 12.04 64-bit (from 10.x 32-bit) on my 6930p HP elitebook. The initial (unity)shock was quite big, having taken a slight break from ubuntu, but now I seem to have started to get used to this. I'm noticing some slow performance every now and then, I think I have to check my ATI driver status (and buy some more RAM). Otherwise things seem to work pretty smoothly..

    If you have 2gig of RAM and you kick it up to 4gig you will see a great improvement in speed. And if you replace the HD with SSD you will see another great improvement. I did this with my Dell Inspiron 1521 (older laptop) and it just flies.
    EDIT: by the way I am running Black Opal (Ubuntu 12.04 OZ Unity Remixes).
