Hello,
I'm a new, fascinated user testing Xubuntu 8.04 on an underpowered
Toshiba Satellite laptop.
Unfortunately for dual-boot, I could only retrieve a 10G partition from
this 80G Vista drive [MFT near 64G mark prevents further shrinkage w/o
too much 3rd party]. Ubuntu 7.14 and 8.04 have tested well also.
'Hardware Report' was sent and I joined Launchpad and Xubuntu Users as
dell at gotthardt.net.
How do you feel I will fare installing Xubuntu 8.04 in this 10G partition?
Do you have any suggestions? Do you recommend otherwise, what about
another release or full Ubuntu (tested well)? This is a personal use
machine with no special applications [I need alternative to Vista] and
I'll share any experiences with you.
Additional testing conducted on AMD3100 (1GB), Vostro 200
(E2180 at 2.00GHz, 2GB), hp8670c (P3/800MHz, 196MB), and xl759 (P3/800MHz,
256MB) on Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04. I want to join the team and share any
information I may have.
This Toshiba has only 512MB, but that can be increased and I can add
another disk for Ubuntu use. Any comments and help appreciated.
Thanks,
