Ubuntu finished the install after the mandatory reboot and wow, it looks a LOT slicker than what I remember. I'll be playing with this tonightGotta get rid off FF and get Chrome for Linux installed to start with (personal preference)
The one thing I'm 'struggling' a bit with right now is that I remember Ubuntu booting FAST but I am getting a 3-4 mins bootup time (equivalent to my XP startup). Maybe there are ways for me to tweak this though.
Want....Ubuntu on N810
Still.. glad you got everything worked out and running.

Played with Ubuntu for two days now and my conclusion is that I really don't like it. Going back to Win7 that I must admit I love.
In the end I don't really think it matters if an OS is open/closed/whatever - if you don't like using it the underlying philosophies doesn't matter one bit.
Good thing we are all different
I'd rather see system diversity than monopolies. That includes not necessarily pushing Linux everywhere, especially where it's still not the right tool (as rare as that is, in my opinion). heheh
