(3) How/where to find instructions for unetbootin and Ubuntu 9.10 ? Just wondering... (4) Also, if it works with manufacturer's linux-- then cant we ask them-- and get drivers etc ? From what I understand, you couldnt get wifi to work when booting into fedora and ubuntu... but did you try to get the drivers ? (5) What about the idea to educate "BenQ"-- to put up this netbook's drivers ? Personally I think hardware makers that ship pre-installed linux are doing something good-- which needs to be encouraged-- even if it's quality will take some time to debug and make perfect.
