Hey I'm currently downloading Ubuntu 6.10 DVD Vers. and it’s got 40% to go, would I have any problems installing this on the below Laptop.

Compaq 2100

AMD Athol XP-M 2500
756Mb DDR SDRAM - 266 MHz
ATI Mobility Radeon 320M- AGP 4x (64Mb)
40Gig IDE HDD


I’ve browsed www.ubuntuforums.org for 2+ hours as I'm a complete newbie to Linux and don’t want any hiccups


Any info/tips would be great

Thanks for the reply, what’s worrying me a little is my wireless card Buffalo WLI-CB-G54S, which doesn’t get recognised I’ve just burnt the image to a DVD-R and its installing as I write so everything looks ok apart from my wireless

Ah brill thanks for the info & Links , I’ve just check that out and wow looks like I'm going to spend a few days getting my card to run

Ubuntu GUI looks great and is very snappy even while in the live mode, even if I cannot get my wireless working my Ethernet gets detected so I will have access to the outside world
