Right.....

I just thought of an obvious question to myself....

So there is a development Ubuntu version....13.0 that will run on this box, A15 Arm architecture...but my interest would be web browsing....and I prefer Firefox as the browser....

Not sure what they are doing to make their browser run on the ARM Architecture....

Firefox is available for Ubuntu, and is included with some releases. Yes, release 13.0 is a beta or pre beta release, but should go stable release before long.

For the non-geek types (including me) a load and go version for this laptop isn’t quite ready yet. It is a good value for the money, and at the Fry’s price, I could stand playing with it as is till the stable Ubuntu release is available.

I am currently running Ubuntu 11.10 with Firefox on a 8 year old laptop. Upgraded to 12.03 and my video card wasn’t well supported, so redid the 11.10, GTG now.
