I tried Soas 2 beta (dated 14 A0ril 2009) burned onto a CD. X windows does not start on the C3 based laptop.
I get a login prompt and then when I try ´śtartx´ there are some messages ending in "fatal server error no screens found" The CD works fine on other machines. So it is no go for this machine. I have been wanting to work with Debian/Ubuntu for a while and this seems to be a good time to try it. Thanks for all the replies. Sorry for the delay in getting back to the list - my CD writer died and spoilt a few CDs before I figured out what the problem was.
