Finally, Ubuntu on my laptop
After some adventures trying to burn a screwy image, I finally got 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) burned and installed on my CQ50 Compaq/HP. Everything, so far, works great thus far. I’m going to keep this as a dual boot, at least for now, but will try to steadily shift more and more to the linux side.
I should mention that the stupid wireless button doesn’t work under linux, so the light on it is always orange, but the wireless itself works brilliantly so far.
