Re: [BLUG] My Ubuntu/Linux bitch

Jim,

Did you try the Ubu 9.10 netbook remix?  I was using the alpha builds on
my eee 900 (Celery processor) and they worked quite nicely.

Hey guys,

I don't normally complain, but my kids do see this computer, and since the topic has evidently changed, would you mind changing the name of the thread? I keep deleting it and it keeps popping up...

On topic (present that is), however, I have recently installed 9.10 NBR to two different eeepcs and it seems to work really well - looks and acts real polished. Mine is a 1000he, and everything works flawlessly. My mom's is a 1001ha, and the only problem with it is that the n wireless card that it has gets a week signal, which I am working on, and have hopes of fixing soon.

Thanks for your consideration of others who choose to be little more careful with their vocab...
