Ubuntu on the Thinkpad X300: impressions and installation

Courtesy Digg Linux/Unix upcoming  Wed, 08/20/2008 - 23:06

"In light of my chronic Mac problems I decided that I would take a shot at Ubuntu running on a Thinkpad X300.

However there were a few quirks that I ran into. I had to reinstall Pidgin 3 times, Firefox would crash every few minutes.

These are not things the average user can deal with gracefully."
