For the googlers out there: Ubuntu 8.04 – and for that matter the previous versions as well – works completely out of the box on this laptop.

This is just a wrapper post for all the people googling for installing GNU/Linux on a nc6320 laptop:
Ubuntu 8.04 runs just fine on this laptop (bluetooth, card reader, 3D compiz effects, etc, etc). The install is very easy and straight forward. There are two things you need to fix: enabling the mic and pump up the wifi speed. The only thing I haven’t tried is the fingerprint reader (I find it silly).

This is the chipset of my soundcard (in case you have the same problem on an other type of machine):

Ok, let’s be clear. Lotus Notes sucks. However, on my workplace all mail and calendar (meetings!) are administered through Lotus Notes on Windows. I run GNU/Linux (Ubuntu). All the hassle show how close source software sucks if you have configuration slightly different that expected by the seller. I am not running Windows or 32-bit RedHat. This post is a work in progress and will be adapted.
This is what I did to get the client running on Ubuntu 7.10 amd64: (more…)
