After discussing these subject with some friends, who
warned me about all the headache I could have to
properly run linux, ccp4, coot and pymol on a PC
laptop, it was a relief to realize that I had them all
working fine after doing a standard installation
procedure and linking one or two libraries.

I've bought a Toshiba Sattelite M105 with Intel
graphics (I've heard that ATI is a bit more difficult
to configure on linux), resized the original windows
partition just after it came out of the box, used the
freed space to install Kubuntu Dapper Drake and
installed CCP4 from the automated download pages (Red
Hat binaries). CCP4i was immediately running
flawlessly, Coot complained about the lack of libtiff
and, as far as I remember, libgdk, which I installed
using apt-get and linked to the coot lib directory.
Since then everything is running perfectly.

One thing I noticed, however, is that Pymol installed
using apt-get does not run on Kubuntu Breezy Badger
nor Dapper Drake. I've downloaded it from the website
and it is ok for all Kubuntu versions.

As an extra information, the only thing that Kubuntu
didn't recognized automatically (even wireless
networking was amazingly easy to use) was the
fingerprint reader - something that I didn't even
bother to set up.
