Comments on: My Dell Inspiron Makes a Good Anchor http://www.bailingbucket.com/my-dell-inspiron-makes-a-good-anchor/ Rhett is here to save you Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:01:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: theUg http://www.bailingbucket.com/my-dell-inspiron-makes-a-good-anchor/comment-page-1/#comment-913 theUg Sun, 12 Aug 2007 16:29:01 +0000 http://www.bailingbucket.com/2007/07/20/my-dell-inspiron-makes-a-good-anchor/#comment-913 <em>Rhett</em>, thanks for spilling more light on the issue. Why you were able to install Xubuntu on the same setup, and I couldn’t is a complete mystery to me. As well as why is there such a poor Linux support for Intel onboard GAs that are (were, he-he) much popular with manufacturers. I guess, Intel really made bunch of crappy chipsets. I did install XP first, and then I was able to install Ubuntu using text-based install from alternative CD (with server setup and such). So, at least, I can work in terminal now. I shall start a topic on the Ubuntu forums to see if anyone can help to resolve this issue. P. S. As for my site, I cannot take credit for it — it is default theme for K2 superstructure on the Wordpress (<a href="http://getk2.com/about/" rel="nofollow">http://getk2.com/about/</a>) designed by the authors of an original Kubrick template. I didn’t even get around to localize the menus, let alone design my own. And the language there is Russian, as you can guess by the domain name. :) Rhett, thanks for spilling more light on the issue.

I have same Inspiron 2600 with onboard Intel graphics and computer hangs at the attempt to start in graphical mode, so I cannot get anywhere either with Ubuntu, Xubuntu or Fedora and SuSe for that matter… :annoyed_tb: Did you have to pass special instructions for the Kernel?

An engineer is asking an English Major to repost a story about his computer because the language is too jargonish for him? Something is wrong here.
