Dell Mini 10 with Ubuntu

[ni9ht5ta1k3r]

Thinking of buying one and installing ubuntu 10.10 and also hoping that there's no issues out of the box if i do install ubuntu

[34Dell17]

Can this be updated (through the system program) to 10.10?

[masterahmedbbx]

i'download it

[hydrofal78]

congratulations it is wonderful

[psion0027]

all the dell pcs i put ubuntu on doesnt let you put special effects or screensavers on it and the only way to be able to do anything is to use failsafe gnome so i vow never to get a dell pc ever again (i've yet to try their laptops)

[fierwall5]

i have a studio 1537 and i can not find a driver for the 1501 n wireless card for my laptop do you have a link to were i could get it or is their some thing else i would really appreciate your help.

Does the mini 10 (1012) work well with Ubuntu 10.04?

[NewKeepSharing31]

@mekhall congratulations I use this version too :D

[xeemo]

who's bright idea was it to put the gma 500 into something meant for linux?

[Blitzerboy1408]

this looks good, im thinking of buying this, have seen some good reviews, thx for the vid

[sexyslimgoody1779]

Hi! i have questions, can it play games like runescape, world of warcraft, and other online games?

and does it have a good graphics card?

[toddha684]

@sexyslimgoody1779

for shure you can play runescape! but to play wow you would have to turn down the graphics

[couto2nv]

@sexyslimgoody1779 world of warcraft probably if you play with low settings you might lag alittle, runescape for sure.

Warning this version does not update or install new packages!

[Thesupermadman]

Hardy is an LTS. LTS releases don't upgrade by default until another LTS release is available. Check the Ubuntu website for instructions.

[awesomenessguess11]

@Thesupermadman New Ubuntu 10.04 is LTS!!!!

[JohnnyJohnnyJohnny]

You can update it, actually.

It isn't entirely efficient to do so at the moment, but it's hardly impossible.

[oquitzinazcatl]

@T3knopath Yes my friend, only add the repositories in the synaptic or apt.

Regards

[T3knopath]

Hardy edition does not work on mini 10. Unable to update and load packages.

Netbooks are for porn..

[49kingify]

if i install ubuntu can i use wi-fi and wired

internet like windows ???

[microtech23]

yes you can

[skate0721]

Yeah, just make sure you have the proper wireless drivers. Wired should work right out of the box.

[redsoxhater2468]

where can I get this distribution?

I uninstalled the version trying to upgrade it. It didn't work out very well and I need to go back to this version.

Does anyone in here have a download link?

[wslx0195]

I'm thinking about getting one of these dell mini laptops for school. I've used Linux (many distros) as my only OS for 3 years now.

[slvr4surfer]

Did you get one!? Cuz im thinking of ordering one tonight...

[naziDKOpower]

is it possible to upgrade to ubuntu NBR

and still be fully compatible with the hardware?

[pap3rbag]

I'm just wondering why the netbook cost the same when you order it with Ubuntu

[NavyJoseph]

Ubuntu is free software, micro$oft costs extra depending on which build you order.

[jrus1]

which version is this Ubuntu?

[DellVlog]

8.04LTS however, it's been customized as he explains in the video.

[Thebestofjin15]

why you don't use ubuntu netbook remix on your netbook?

[Zerorebels]

Why was it customized in the first place, no offence but in my opinion it was better the original way but thats just me since ive been using ubuntu since the first one that came out a few years ago i think it was 6.04, is their any way to remove the dock bar with web, entertainment ect? if their is then it would be great.

hardy heron

[lpanghat]

the old one, hardy heron

The current one is Jaunty Jackalope 9.10

[luctor1969]

Current Jaunty = 9.04

Karmic Koala = 9.10 (still in alpha)

[helike13]

Jaunty Jackalope is numbered 9.04

9.10 will be named Karmic Koala

[hekma]

OK, I wanted to put Ubuntu on my old IBM laptop iSeries but it looks very different with the picture of a bird of some kind, how do i get the one they are showing in the video with the transparent tape ?? they should be more clear for newbies and laypeople like me

[HistoryMac]

The Ubuntu shown in this video is Dell's custom version of Ubuntu. As far as I know, the only way to get it is to buy a Dell Mini 9 or Mini 10. You can customize the normal Ubuntu though (which is what you installed) just google 'Ubuntu forums' and you can ask questions there about pretty much anything! I remember it was a big help when I was new to linux. Happy ubuntu-ing!

[putasensura]

ubuntu netbook remix?

i

[C37p8]

LINUX ROCKS!!!

[locoxella]

Wow, the blurefect when accessing the "dock" (or tape) was GREAT!!!!! Very neat.

[DamnLNX]

very interesting! Is there a dell repository with the updated network manager or how is it realized?

[paintballguy113]

How hard is it to find good apps for ubuntu?

[wackytheshaggy]

not at all or in fact easier than in windows as most free ware is available by typing one line of text or three clicks. But if you need windows software virtual box and win xp installed on a virtual machine gives you a working windows without most of the problems.

[slomarik]

Ubuntu rocks!!!!!!!!

[compuhelp101]

Mint is better.

[travisbro]

Linux Mint is a Ubuntu variant.

[flamed65]

[wildebeetroot]

Would you care to explain why linux is "so last year" when it is continually updated with countless distros?

[David0Hawkings]

[compuhelp101]

Linux is always updated, haha, U suck, linux pwns
