be that as it may
I'm unemployed & have what I have
I don't really do anything except surf email & listen to music
if it weren't for the lack of sound I probably would have stayed on 8.04 for another year
this notebook is ok hardware wise, but gateway support has been horrible
I don't know about notebooks, but I've had some real over priced dogs when it comes to sony consumer electronics
my wife has a HP Vista notebook, which is good hardware wise, but has what must have one of the most bloated sets of preinstalled software ever
she's been using the unbuntu pc from time to time over the last 6 months & is going to be ready for a dualboot very soon
good to keep a copy of windows around for some apps until I can figure out work arounds
my misson for the past couple of days has been getting the file sharing to work on the 2 linux boxes
the pc is upgrading to 10.04 lts as I write. There doesn't seem to be a decent tutorial, I think all I need is samba & gshare, but we shall see
