[clug] A most interesting read, most interesting

[Peter Anderson]

Following on from Randall Cook's post:

I agree with the general thrust of your thoughts; however, I have a 
slightly different experience with installing Linux (Ubuntu) on a 
Toshiba laptop.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A10 (with a Canon LBP-1210 laser printer -- 
clearly a gluten for punishment) which is five years old (give or take a 
year) and recently I have recently installed Ubuntu Edgy Eft. The actual 
install and set-up have worked fine with no problems. The basic install 
happens very quickly. However, like your experience there are many 
things that need "fine tuning" and that takes time. Unlike you, I am 
relatively new to Linux so I keep a diary of all (well most of) the 
things I do and that greatly helps new installs.

I have been quite surprised how easy the Toshiba install has gone.

Regards,
Peter
