Kubuntu on IBM Laptop R51 .

In Linux on August 9, 2006 at 5:35 am

I installed Kubuntu ( ubuntu with kde ) on my laptop IBM R51.

and i was totally SURPRISED .

  • The ease of installation .
    • pop in the cd .
    • boot from cd/dvd drive .
    • it installs a live demo version .
    • after you login it installs full version from desktop ( with an icon click ! ).
    • 20 min for me .
  • Wonderfull desktop with preloaded apps.
    • Standard office OpenOffice .
    • Mozilla fireFox browser .
    • everything else ( photo editing , media players ) .
  • What i totally liked about it .
    • Wi-Fi works .
    • Hibernation and special keys on laptop works .
    • Flash drive , windows drives Automatic mount-unmount .
    • flat 20 min install . ( yes ) .
    • single CD install .
    • great package manager.
    • OUT – OF – BOX kind of OS .
  • What sucked .
    • No support for MP3 files ( not really ubuntu’s fault get it from apt ).
    • No support for RPM packages ( this one should be there ) .
