i only realised whenthe heating came on and i wondered why it was an hour late
i gave up on ubuntu on my laptop yesterdayas i couldn't face compiling a kernel just to have the luxury of using wireless, so i reinstalled xp. i don't have a cd/dvd in my laptop, and since i last reinstalled my external dvd drive has gone kaput. so i did a bit of googling and rolled myself a usb memory stick i could install xp from. it was a bit of a fiddle but seemed to work well. however loads of the settings from my carefully customised xp install cd have been randomised, presumably on the whim of the pillock who wrote the cd-usb converter. the one i have only just noticed is that the laptop time zone had been set to amsterdam. yep, until a few minutes ago i thought it was an hour later than it was. my laptop tricked me in to waking up an hour early
i only realised when teeheethats excellent.
i try linux once every 12-18 months and every time.. something is just not right. it started yonks ago with graphics card drivers and is now much better but now down to using joysticks in MAME

I've never had any success with MAMEwhich I really should have a got at again so I can build a cabinet for upstairs in the workshop.
As for wireless drivers in ubuntu, isn't there NDIS Wrapper ?
As I said down there *points* Linux Mint works spiffingly

i'm sure wireless in general works fine in ubuntufor my particular card the drivers are both broken and compiled in to the kernel. the only way to swap them out is to recompile
it is an intel 2200bgso i guess it is my fault for not going with a more mainstream manufacturer
If it's a mini PCI oneand not a mini PCI E one I can post you a Broadcom one that'll work
thanks for the offerit is built in so i don't know if i can swap it. i've gone back to the dark side now anyway
All you do is unscrewa cover on the bottom amd 9 times out of 10 there's the wireless card and memory laying there naked for you
nupjust battery, hdd and memory

migraine. Guarenteed relief.2 to 4 shots of spirits. 2 shots of espresso. A very strong spliff.
Consume all of them as quickly as is possible. Sort you right out. I can even work with a migraine as long as Ie done the above, and its got sound scientific backing behind it.

I've got Mint on one of my machinesseems fine
Mint is good. ive got a cabjoysticks, buttons, the required harness, pc interface boards, everything. just never git round to re-tarting it all up. i need moar space really
The plan for the workshop loft isHTPC, projector, MAME cab, sofa beds and optics
Ubuntu 9.10seems to have been a big step forward in hardware compatibility
I'm one SD card slot short of out-of-the-box perfection

Give Mint a tryit's the only distro I've used where every thing seems to work, plus they have their own software portal for installing stuffs that makes it almost as easy as windows
