i’ve continued my forays [1] [2] into the world of Linux distributions and have now tried Ubuntu.
Install works fine. After I figured out that I needed to enter vga=771 to start setup i encountered no further problems. Very straightforward.
linux vga=771
It’s based on Debian Sarge.
Ok, the next thing to do is upgrade to the new WP 1.5… but i’ll leave that for another geek day. The reviews sound very positive.
