How much RAM do you have?? Acer
shipped some of these units with a really stingy
amount of RAM, like 256Mb or even
128Mb.???If this is the case I can offer some
suggestions about how to get the machine working with a
'buntu distro.
RAM: 2Gb
this the error message I get
"

I am attempting to install xubuntu 10.04 on Acer Veriton
2800
the live CD (10.04) stalls/crash just before the gui loads,
but the mouse cursor
is displayed
i've just left the computer on, the monitor went into power
saving mode
when I move the mouse the xubuntu background image is
displayed, but with no
menu bar

Following the June meeting I thought of having a wordpress.com blog for
Ubuntu-AU. Any ideas? At the moment I have resisted the username ubuntuau
and the blog name ubuntuau.wordpress.com. Anyone of ideas for it maybe posts
of the release parties and other events. Any ideas?

Hi
I have an 11 year old compaq Armarda E500 with 256 RAM (which i got for
$A30 on ebay) and 40 GB HDD. It has a single usb (ver1???) and a really
good screen.
This was running Ubuntu 10.04 until today...it worked but was fairly
lethargic.
I downloaded the 32 bit peppermint 2 iso and burned it to a CD (on
another machine) and have just installed it. Works great, much more
responsive and it recognises both my netgear wg111 wireless nic and my
new wireless printer just like U 10.04.
Hope this helps..Pmint is based on U10.04 but it is tweaked for a very
lightweight system a la jolicloud.
Regards
Larry North
