Just big yellow question marks in the system hardware profile. Without any documentation for the 3-year old computer I headed to the Dell website punched in the service tag and found myself with several options for each of the hardware drivers noted above. Was the wireless a Dell PCI card or an Intel chip? Which of the 3 or 4 choices for each was actually installed? ATI or Intel video? Broadcom or Intel wired Ethernet?The whole time I kept thinking that if I were installing Ubuntu it would just know which drivers to use. It would recognize my hardware and it would work. Wouldn?t he really rather just use Ubuntu? As it turns out to finally determine the actual hardware I was able to get some information out of the BIOS but ultimately just loaded an Ubuntu 8. 10 Live CD ran the hardware test and wrote down the hardware it detected. A few downloads from Dell later (on my Mac since none of the networking was enabled on the XP machine) and some more Googling to determine that the Broadcom wireless Ubuntu detected was what Dell passed off as their TrueMobile 1300 mini PCI card and the troublesome machine was running.

Netbooks + Ubuntu: On fence about form factor; OS solid

The idea: Check out a netbook and take Ubuntu for a spin. The early reaction: Netbooks can be handy but they can also cramp your hands with those dinky keyboards. And aside from some early problems with connecting to my wireless network Ubuntu has proven to be a capable operating system. First the form factor.
