Revision as of 22:28, 17 August 2009
Disclaimer
I just started to write up this page as of 2009-08-12. Please expect more to come in the next couple of days. The "template" was taken from Ubuntu 9.04 on a T400. Of course at the moment [| Karmic Alpha4] is all you can get off the Net. The good news is: Everything works out of the box. Where are the good old times it took you a couple of nights to get a new box up and running? ;)
You may ask why an alpha when you can have Ubuntu Jaunty. I use btrfs as my filesystem of choice.
Before Installation
Backup your data. Maybe dd the rescue partition.
BIOS Upgrade
