I agree with you on the Ubuntu 10.10 dual monitor upgrade. In the past, I’ve had to add a little script to auto use xrandr to add the compatible modelines for my second monitor, but 10.10 knew it exactly right upon install, even showed the make and model which previously didn’t detect correctly. Windows STILL doesn’t detect the modes for the monitor right.

I would really like to see how the multitouch works on the Lenovo.Could you do a video of that at some point?

I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 and burned to a CD. It won’t boot . It gets to the Ubuntu logo with the dots under it, blinks through the dots a few times then hangs. Well at least 10.04 is LTS, looks like I’ll need to stick with that awhile. I am running a HP pavilion zv5000 notebook. It’s been able to run Ubuntu since 8.04. I hope 11.04 will run.

10.10 works great for me. I have an hp pavilion dv6000. The only real issue is the touchpad. When it’s activated it causes the mouse and keyboard to become unresponsive to right clicks. This was also an issue in 10.04 but not 9.10. Apparently it has to do with the gnome desktop conflicting with with touchpad driver in some way.
If driver issues weren’t an issue Linux would exist in a state of perpetual perfection.

Very impressed by UberStudent distro. Upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 under it without problem. How about some coverage of UberStudent.

too much annoying, not enough reviewing.

Agreed. I found another review at this link:

http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2010/10/13/ubuntu-10-10-review/

It covers virtually every aspect of the OS in great detail. Worth a read.

Flash being crappy on mobiles is FUD? What have you been smoking in your pipe? The sooner everyone moves to HTML5 the better.

Do these guys have any idea how hard it is to find the Linux Action Show on an Android device?
