I have not used Ubuntu but Fedora, Kahli, and currently Bodhi linux all run fine on that laptop. I setup an Acer netbook for my son running Mint and that little bugger has been rock solid even down to the wireless setup and reliability.<div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Jan 31, 2014, at 4:15 PM, gordon webb <<a href="mailto:gordonwebb1@yahoo.com">gordonwebb1@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><div>Hello All</div><div><br></div><div style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">I could use some sugestions on purching a new lap top. I am intested in one with a 14 or 15" screen. If some one knows of a lab top sold with Ubuntu as the operating system please let me know.<br></div><div><br></div><div style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">The hard drive on my HP G60t-200 lap top has the click of death. It is time for me to by a new lap top any way. I bought the HP in March of 2009 so
it is close to 5 years old. I guess that is a fair run for a lap top. I will probably buy a new hard drive and use the HP to try other versions of Linux.</div><div style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Gordon<br></div><div style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"> <a title="mailto: washlug@washlug.org" href="mailto:washlug@washlug.org"></a><br></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>washlug mailing list<br><a href="mailto:washlug@washlug.org">washlug@washlug.org</a><br>http://linux.marcdatabase.com/mailman/listinfo/washlug<br></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
