I keep working on my laptop, the thing is this, i bough this beautiful HP Tx1000, it is a great computer but it brough a little nasty thing called Vista… God, Vista is terrible! It just eats up all my RAM in a few minutes, it lags everytime i want to open Firefox (By the way, use firefox, way better than anything else), it is the worst OS i have ever used! (Yes, worst than solaris)…
Of course i immidiatly installed Ubuntu 7.10 the problem was that the Linux drivers for this laptop havent been donde by them yet, so i had to search for third party drivers, i found them without trouble, first of all i had to get the live CD to boot, easy enough i just had to aply Noapic, then i installed, after that i had to install drivers for: Touchscreen, sond card, video card, some other minor plugins, you may think that this was hard… Well, it wasnt, i must say it was easier than what i though it would be, it took me a couple hours… Now, the thing that troubles me is that i screwed up my screen configuration and now i have to reinstall everything, well i allready started, the installation only takes 10 minutes (Not like the endless windows ones), but i will have to take this afternoon to install the drivers…
For the Non-Linux users, do not get scared for what i just said, try Linux… Its not as scary as it sounds, its quite easy actually, because there is a lot of people willing to help you if you ask for help…….
