Linux support
Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2008 7:55 am
Hey folks.
I bought an X300 three days ago and the very first thing I did when switching it on was to put in a CD with the latest pre-Beta release of Ubuntu (that is, I installed Hardy Alpha 6, which will become 8.04 next month). (I have no interest in running Windows, so that is long gone).
There are a few snags (the most obvious being audio and suspend not working), but it's usable to work on.
Basically I just wanted to kick off a thread about running Linux on these wonderful beasts, to discuss, get feedback and see if anyone is trying other distros and getting better results.
Cheerio!
