That's a very good point there Richard. I could totally relate to this dilemma. I am also looking for a manager that is tech savvy enough and could manage my 5 people team. John S. Appointment scheduler

Caution for folks. My Runcore 128GB was NOT reversed. It installed in same orientation as the factory harddrive

What about the internal 3G modem – is it supported out of the box as well (Vaio model VGN-P21Z)? I can’t find any conclusive answer to that, and the only review from one user I found (on several boards) was that he found no support for the internal modem…

As you wrote “…my 3G USB modem…” I take it you used an external one.

thanks,

Any luck with the suspend/hybernate? I tried this method, but the device felt very unstable, it would lock up randomly, as well as the screen was very laggy.

I ended up going for Win7, which doesn’t really appeal to me, but hey it works.

Hows the overall feel for you guys? Maybe I missed something and gave up too quickly.

Thanks!

If the drivers are working with full 3D support straight out of the box, that’s great news… the drivers may finally be up to scratch

hi i have a acer aspire one 751h and amazeingly when i installed Eeebuntu then kde then tried to run compiz it worked with no error now it is some what slow and the acer uses the notoruous gma 500. but they must be doing something becouse wen i checked my xorg.conf all the options for better performance where already changed and when i went to numerous forms to see what could be done to improve performance it was already done. aha so do you think this could be a sign that intel or conanical is doing something with these god for saken drivers???? and also what kind of performance do you get on your vaio p???? another thing that is very weird is that if i leve my computer on for a long peroid of time compiz performance becomes better in things like closeing and opening windows desktop cube etc….. what do you guys think could be happening?

i have been evaluating the search results of Microsoft Bing compared to Google and they are comparable. Bing gives almost the same relevant search results just like Google.

The line:

Option “MigrationHeuristic” “greedy”

is what you need to solve the crashes. It also rather improves performance.

If anyone experiences the system pausing during boot until you hit a key, and/or the system clock consistently losing time, you want to add this kernel parameter:

nohz=off

to your bootloader configuration.
