Ubuntu – You've come a long way baby!
Well, today I braved the unseasonably warm temperatures to stand in front of my local Office Depot to score a $320 laptop. I arrived at 10:15. They opened at 11:00. At approximately 10:50 two other gentlemen joined me to score the three MSI A5000-025US (9S7-168344-026) laptops they had available. Sold out at 11:03.
I’m VERY impressed with the laptop. It’s got LED back lighting, a dual core processor, 3 GIGs of memory and a webcam. The only thing missing is bluetooth. I’ll probably add one of the $2.36 bluetooth modules from DealExtreme. The OS which came with is is Windows 7 32bit Home Premium. My OS preference is Ubuntu. 9.10 Karmic Koala installed without a hitch. The only thing needed was to turn on the webcam and WiFi using the top buttons.
