Thank you all for your answers. I did read it same if I didn't answer each time. She had bought her laptop and decided to install Ubuntu on her old desktop first. I think she will probably decide to install Ubuntu on the laptop when she will know it better. Thanks Meg <div>On 10/21/07, yueyu lin <<a href="mailto:popeyelin@gmail.com">popeyelin@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I have a Thinkpad T61p and my wife has a Thinkpad X60. X60 is working well and it has the small size which my wife likes it.(But it will get hot because the hard drive is under the palm strayer). I installed Ubuntu 7.10 in T61p. Unfortunately the usplash doesn't work since the amd64 framebuffer's bug. If you don't mind to disable it and see a lot of text before gdm starts, it will be OK and everything else works fine. I also have a Dell inspiron 1710. It's amazing that everything works fine out of th box. From my point of view, IBM(Lenovo) is not considering Linux seriously like before and Dell treats linux more seriously than before. I don't have a HP laptop, but I heard they did well in linux supporting. So I think you can choose from thinkpad,dell and hp. Good luck. <div>On 10/20/07, Ashley Benton <<a href="mailto:meggalen@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> meggalen@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div> Hi, a friend of me wants to buy a notebook and wants me to install Ubuntu on it . Do you know what notebook she should buy (not too expensive) and which new notebook would be compatible with Ubuntu without causing me too much trouble with the installation.
