I am thinking to wipe out my S10 160GB hard drive to install Ubuntu... I hope it works fine as yours too... :)

[sleepjavier]

ok so i have a S10 too, i love it. i got the 160gb hard drive but 1 gig ram.. when you upgraded the ram, did you buy two one gig sticks or how many banks are available? I'm kinda iffy if it'll recognize two one gig sticks.. thanks

netbooks only have 1 SO-DIMM slot by design, and 512mb of fixed speed onboard memory, therefore you can only install a 2 gig SO-DIMM. And the maximum amount supported should ither be 2 or 2.5 gb for all netbooks, even if they state 1.5gb is maximum supported.

nice! how do you run ubuntu on the usb drive? just plug it in & press power button or do you need to set up bios to make it run from usb?

Why haven't I got any sound??.....

[shaolindreams]

good to know man :) thanks for the heads up

though im quiet happy with xp on there runs great.. i might look into getting windows 7 on it when 120gb SSD is cheaper :)
