Using what works

2009-01-06 Thread SkipF

 I agree with Glenn. While the advantages to 'upgrading' are incremental,
 the DOWNSIDE can be debilitating. 8.04 works with my Audigy 2
 soundcard, 8.10 doesn't. And HAL doesn't see my mouse through
 a KVM switch, so it modifies xorg.conf upon boot-up. After three
 times, I plugged my 8.04 drive in,  and restored sound and mouse.
"New" does not mean good. New means different.

 What's in Intrepid that's NOT in Hardy? (or 'Studio')
 Since Studio is built on a LTS package (8.04), that's 
enough support for the next few years. Plus it has RealTime.
 If RT is that important to you, consider using it.

Those Intel Atom cpu's don't need a fan if they are clocked @ 50%.
(800MHz.) But is it FAST enough?

Re: HP tx2510us installation problems

2008-08-30 Thread SkipF
Have you thought about 'chilling' the PC before installing.
 If that doesn't work, perhaps an hour in the freezer might
get you past your trouble spot. You don't have to 
chill the battery- it'll be better warm.

Salutations UbuntuStudio Geeks,

I just picked up a splendid (for Vista only so far) HP tablet model tx2510 and 
have had no success installing UbuntuStudio. I looked to the non-studio support 
and found issues described similar to mine, a temperature error during 
installation that shuts down the notebook very early in the installation. But 
no solutions yet. I'm hoping for some advice, links, etc.

Thanks for your time.
