    Not exactly notebook news but general computing... Ubuntu Dapper Drake is out today. Grab yourself a .torrent, burn the .iso and stick it on an old laptop. You'll love it and you'll be amazed at how it can breathe new life into an old computer. I have it installing on a seven year old desktop for use as a server. I used a similar configuration with Breezy on it before.

    The new Ubiquity installer is hot! You can literally use Firefox and install the operating system at the same time.

    It looks promising, I have been the RC for a while. The only issues being that the MMC wouldnt work and setting up the Broadcom :mad: wifi and setting it up to use WPA security which is a royal pain.
