    If you guys are using it, I'd love to hear some opinions, problems etc.
    No complaints, runs smooth as ever on my crap-ass laptop, and it looks cool :D


    (Oh, and it's very functional as well :D)

    EDIT: However, it *does* seem to have a few issues with laptop power management

    I tried the livecd last night on my laptop and for some reason the wifi was connected automagically. Which is nice, hardware detection and all that, but what I can't figure out is how the bastard could connect to the network, which is supposed to be protected with a WEP key. :irritated

    I ordered 20. 10 Ubuntu, 5 Kubuntu and 5 Edubuntu. Need to educate a lot of people around here about Linux.

    Problem is I ordered them 2 weeks ago... Damn NIPOST!

    Just downloaded Ubuntu. Will wait until the CDs arrive.

    I recieved five cds yesterday (5.10) which I ordered like 2 months ago....

    I never tried Ubuntu before so is 6.06 much of an upgrade? Or should I just settle with this one??

    Dapper is a huge improvement over Breezy (5.10)..

    However, that said, Breezy is still excellent :D


    Download a Dapper CD, ramsi.. It's not like you have limited bandwidth or anything :depressed (unless you're still on 56k? :D)

    I got 512 dsl three weeks ago:toast:

    Well if you wanna improvise a bit, you could open the iso in a hex editor and manually burn holes in the plastic with a hand laser. :D
