Ok, I know I’m late to the thread (I actually found it searching on something else), and I’ve had Ubuntu setup in a separate partition on my desktop (lightly used) and recently on my HP 6000 laptop. I like it, and use if afterhours and weekends, but boot back to my MCE (XP) partition by default.

Ubutnu is ALMOST there, I did have a ton of difficulties with various technical glitches (Nvidia drivers, Beryl, WPA2, even Grub issues with the dual boot) but I’ve got most of them ironed out because there is excellent help out there on the net.

The one issue I’ve not yet resolved, is use of USB Flash drives. I have an external 160gb drive and two flash drives that I use for important documents, passwords, and PortableApps (Win32 only). does anyone have tips on reliable dynamic use of USB storage drives with Feisty?

Thx, -Snerdley
