My wife's old Dell is dying, it will give her a blue screen randomly. Thus, we bought a MacBook and the life is just fantastic. So what am I going to do with the Dell? Instead of throwing it directly to garbage can, I think the blue screen might be caused by windows XP. I probably can use it to install Ubuntu 9.10.
So I download the Ubuntu 9.10 and it needs just a single CD-R to make the installable CD. The installation is just as easy as you clean install a Windows 7 system to your PC. It needs no more than half hour to install the whole system. The only trouble I had after the installation was the wireless connection. It's just not there. So I Google it and found a very useful link. It just fixed my problem like charm.
I think the Dell finds its rebirth in Ubuntu, and so far I just love it. By the way, you got Google Chrome for Linux. Life is beautiful, right?
