well I some sort of problem at the moment.
I'm looking for an ideal linux distro -
with ubuntu I got concerned with the strange crackle noise in the HD
when it was booting up.
Run badblocks and see if it's going bad.
with PCLinuxOS I find the application menu display so blocky, that it
irks me to death.
and the hack to change all that is over the top.
so that leaves me with Xubuntu
Xubuntu is nothing but Ubuntu with a different desktop.
what chances have I with it on my Asus A3AC laptop
(methinks linux is not friendly with laptops)
Methinks Linux is quite laptop friendly. I installed Knoppix on an IBM
laptop for a community theatre a few years ago - I'm currently running
Ubuntu on a Gateway M305 with no problems.
