• NICE! Linux Laptop

    From Tracker1@VERT/TRN to dove.unix on Saturday, July 14, 2007 17:48:00
    Lenovo 3000 N100, using Ubuntu 7.04

    Doesn't Work:
    Fingerprint Scanner (IP issues)
    Webcam (haven't looked into it yet)

    Needed Update:
    Needed the Intel 915 resolution update for 1280x800 res.

    Everything else seems to work out of the box... Glad I had so much trouble with the damned HP that I took it back.. :) Hell, even the wireless nic worked out of the box, since ubuntu was kind enough to include the proprietary driver for the onboard wireless... nice quick LT... Best Buy has it for $649 currently.

    Honestly, this has been the absolutely easiest hardware install for linux I've ever done.. next easiest was with a prior ubuntu version.. so I'm pretty pleased.. not doing too much to it yet, as I have a bigger HD that should get delivered on tuesday for it.. just happy as sin so far.
