Hi, I'm after a notebooks which I will only put Ubuntu (8+) on. I want the internet camera and mic built in (Ekiga, Skype).
I went to JB Hi-Fi and Powerhouse yesterday. To my amazement, I was told that all notebooks will take linux perfectly (as in "no problems") and one said he uses Ubuntu on 'several' without a problem - though he needed his brother-in-law to install it. Neither would accept my offer of "I will buy it if you guarantee my money back if it does not work with Ubuntu (8.04). They would not as they then said "They were made to work with Windows XP/Vista". My second question was, do any have dual monitor outputs? No. OK, it was a like-to-have, not a necessity. So, I ask the list, is it true that all notebooks will work with Ubuntu 8.04 (+?) including the camera, mic, Skype for Ubuntu, Ekiga, ethernet adapter to my router, Seagate FreeAgent 500 usb drive, wi-fi internet?? Apologies for asking but I was under the impression notebooks were not so simple? David -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
