Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Laptop+Linux Ubuntu Operateing System Overview Part 1

"Otherwise known as Ubunto" I don't know where you've heard that, but Ubuntu is pronounced "Ooh Boon Too" but some say "Uh boon too". Weird.. Maybe one of your friends are also saying it wrong.

ok fist of all there is no such thing as a 32 gig ram. there is a 512 or 1 gig ram and can be upgraded but only up to about 3 or 4 gig ram. you probably ment 32 gig SSD not ram. get it right before posting shit that aint true.

First linux kernel: 1991. First Ubuntu release: late 2004.

Just an aside, telling people how old Linux or Ubuntu "really" is probably isn't going to impress n00bs in the consumer OS space. The first reaction, understandably, will likely be to wonder why they haven't heard of it before, and then wonder if it's because it's not very important, or not very good.

Eh. I have one, and oh yeah, it's a real problem. As a result I had to buy my girlfriend one, as well as my mom :p
The other regret I have is that, despite the smaller keyboard, they still found space for a Caps Lock key on yours >_>

Yeah, forget the metric system. From now on I measure with lego men. ;) This was very cute.

I hope it makes you feel all warm and tingly inside to tell a relatively smart kid he's an idiot. Hopefully he'll use you as an example of how NOT to behave when he grows up and shares information with those who are younger and less knowledgeable than he is.

Ubuntu is loaded with OpenOffice which is compatible with Microsoft Office files.

Actually, Linux has been around for quite a while (try almost 20 years). It's just that Dell only just started offering it on a few home computers. ^_^

I run Ubuntu on my Laptop, and I'd agree that it is certainly better for many things than Windows or Mac (although, it can take some tweaking to get games made for Windows to work).

I like how you measured it in Lego Guys!

This kid is pretty smart, he got the Mini 9 with Ubuntu. I started running Ubuntu in 2005 so it's been around awhile. Only improvement is KDE, Kubuntu or OpenSUSE.
