    I know little about Vista, but have become reluctantly embroiled in helping a friend who has Vista Home Premium on which he has been sharing public folders with no problem. Then he installed Norton 360, and found he could no longer see the Vista shares from 2 XP boxes on his network. So he...

    Who sells laptops with Ubuntu?

    Well over a year ago I refitted an old Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop with Ubuntu 8.04, and have been very happy with it as a laptop OS. However that venerable system is now dying and I want to buy a new laptop. I heard Dell now sells Ubuntu systems, but I'll be darned if I can find any on their...
