It is a nice distribution... good for the new Linux user, and also, for the more experienced user. Occasionally, with any distro, there is always the chance that there is some odd piece of hardware in the machine that might create a problem. With a laptop, there is less ability to swap out problematic hardware, than is the case with a Desktop machine. From past experience, I would say you have good odd that the install will go smoothly. -- http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ . ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
