Xubunto 8.10 on my Libretto u100
Yesterday I upgraded my Xubuntu to the latest 8.10 release.
Everything seemed to went well, but after a reboot the display manager won’t start anymore. After login and a simple sudo gdm, I’m back on a Ubuntu (!) login screen to enter my XFCE desktop.
Think I’m going to reinstall the thing, because I’m planning to make it dualboot with Win dows XP again.
Linux on the U100 (1)
Last weekend I decided to remove my Windows Vista Home Premium installation and try to install linux on my Libretto U100. Reason for this drastic move is the poor performance of Vista, despite the 1 GB memory. Maybe in the future I’ll try Vista again and tune it a biot, but now I want Linux!
So Linux it will be, but what distro will meet my demands? All those different distributions of Linux does not make life a lot easier. But from my little linux experience in the past I choose Xubuntu 7.10 on my Libretto.
Why? Because XFCE is very light compared to Gnome or KDE, and Ubuntu is easy to install and has good support on multimedia, wireless networking and more.
