HP DV7 out of box.
I'd like when everything work out of box, but I don`t like WIndows, once I've tried Linux I've love it, especially Ubuntu. But as usually in linux it takes a lot of time to start. Let's see what we have, ok choices: - Ubuntu 8.10 64Bit - Ubuntu 8.10 32Bit - Ubuntu 8.04 32Bit - Ubuntu 8.04 64Bit(I just forget about that release, and actually didn't tried yet) There is a common problem for all this distributives, if you ran Windows Vista(by default with that laptop) even one time it will made some changes(switches) in your network adapter and then wired network adapter didn't work out of box in Ubuntu. But wired network fix I will describe later. My goal is found most working Ubuntu out of box, and then tweak it. Let's start from 8.10 64 bit. After installation I'll get working system(as usual in Ubuntu case), everything works, but there are a lot of issues with that version: - biggest issue is a lot of software still not working properly, or just don`t ha
