I downloaded and installed gutsy i386 image. I have an HP tx1000 tablet which has AMD turion x2. This particular laptop is known to be difficult to configure and there is a huge thread dedicated to it on Ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442483
I had to do a lot of tweaks just to get the live cd to boot - a handful of kernel parameters but this was the case with feisty as well so I was aware of what to do. Still I would have expected some of the issues to be resolved in gutsy. My first impression has been not so good. I am unable to shutdown the system cleanly, the system seems pretty slow and non reactive to inputs, the touchscreen doesnt work (it was recognized by default in feisty but was unusable as it was impossible to calibrate) But I have been able to get the wireless working with ndiswrapper. So at least one thing works as expected. Also I get write access to my ntfs windows partitions out of the box which is cool. A lot of these issues might get solved as I fine tune my system install nvidia drivers and configure x, get the right balance of kernel parameters etc. So I am still hopeful. Seems like its going to be a fun weekend ;) I will post of my results and steps as I get more things working.

I ran the live cd jus a few moments ago. looks good. faster than 6.06 live cd and ofcourse it would be faster on install. could not configure ethernet connection for my home internet(the properties button was disabled.should it be?) The colours are bright. if i get time i shall do an install tomorrow or day after. i shall write my experiences. BTW has anyone else downloaded the iso? please share. regards nanbudh ________________________________________ Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage.
