Good morning everyone!
Well, yesterday I decided to bite the bullet and bought a new laptop to replace my aging PC. The new laptop is an Intel based Asus PC with Intel WiFi, MoBo and processor. Everything worked great with the Live DVD desktop, WiFi connected instantly. Only hitch is a problem with the ClickPad. I have to keep two fingers on the pad to be able to right click anything. Is there a work around for this, or do I have to wait for a new version of Ubuntu to have that patched over?
It also has Windows 8 on it. I want to get rid of Windows and have a fresh, clean and pure linux system (with Xubuntu or Kubuntu).
After some trial and error, I was able to get the system to boot from the Live DVD, which it did in EFI mode (Live DVD Xubuntu 12.04.2). My question is pretty much do I need to do anything in particular when installing Ubuntu on this system? I've seen some of the troubleshooting guides for installing on UEFI systems and they always explain how to set it up to dual boot. However, if I want to completely get rid of Windows, do I simply select install Ubuntu from the Live Desktop and tell it to replace Windows?
