just finished installing ubuntu on my Sony Vaio... (FS 215E)

few teething problems with getting the volume controls, brightness etc to work (but found a fix on the web). WPA encryption was a little tricky to get going, but works fines now and my orange 3G card works fine with a little tinkering.

If anyone else is going to try it here is a link to my problems, fixes and sources...

Aftermuch tinkering and finally sussing it xorg.conf. I have got my pc to dual head. I have my tft set a 1280x1024 and I have my other screen set to the s-video out hooked upto my tv @ 1024x768 This means no more messing about to watch media on my tv.

nice one mate, glad to hear it

There's nowt wrong with XP, it works fine on the five PC's I have use of. It's users that are the problem not the operating system

Agree with this. Infact in the ten odd years I have been in pc support I would say that people who make the worst users are those that think they know what they are doing.

I am currently downloading the live cd of umbungo to give it a whirl.

Enjoy Unbuntu It takes some getting used to but it's worth it.
