Ubuntu Installed on ThinkPad X31
Installed Ubuntu on my laptop, ThinkPad X31. As far as I am concerned, this has to be the easiest install of a linux distro ever. Now that I am a happy camper in Ubuntu land, I would like to share how easy it is to install Ubuntu. I can’t wait to tell my coworkers about this tomorrow. It is easy to install and is a cool collection of software. Thanks, Ubuntu, now I am unstuck from RedHat/Fedora Core.
(Dec 23, 2006) Update: As can be expected, there are other blog posts on Ubuntu as well.

[...] My laptop, which is a little over three years old, can’t be upgraded to Windows Vista. I mean, its hardware is inadequate to run Vista (says Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor). I run both Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu on this laptop and I am happy with it. I don’t see why I should get rid of this laptop just because it can’t run Vista. When I really need to use Vista, I will probably build myself an inexpensive PC that will run Vista. [...]

Which laptop are you speaking of?
The Thinkpad x31. Yes, it can run Vista, actually as well as it ran XP, needs a little help with the drivers. If this is your problem, would be glad to assist.

Yes, ThinkPad X31. Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor said I can’t upgrade to Vista. I didn’t even try to upgrade this laptop to Vista. I don’t intend to. Instead, I built My Vista PC.
Thanks for your offer to help.
