While I am at it - I did run a live CD for Ubuntu 9.04 and Mint 7
(Gloria) and both worked fine. Via T1 cable it networks fine with the
other three systems (Jaunty, Gloria and XP).

Anyone know of a good distro for a notebook? Something without as lot
of bloat? Main use would be email, web searching and Open Office. Plus
I prefer Gnome over KDE. Although a game or two and some visual bling
would be nice (as long as it doesn't slow it down to nothing).
