Two items. Would somebody change my email address from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or tell me how to do that.
Second item. I just bought a DELL Inspiron 1420 with Ubuntu pre-installed. The hardware works fairly well. They used standard intel parts for sound, ethernet, etc.. The upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 did not work at all. DELLs ISO they supplied on the disk was corrupt. Their phone support is still worthless. And if I put in my DELL serial number into the web support pages I have to specify which OS I have to get the drivers. Ubuntu is not an option here!!! If you google their site you can find people having similar upgrade problems with the listed solutions. None of which worked for me. However burning a fresh copy of 8.04 from www.ubuntu.com and all my problems went away. The point is the hardware is good generic highly supported stuff from Intel which DELL sales at a good price but expect nothing more...
