This could be the wrong forum but here goes.
Our son is going off to school and is looking at the Acer Aspire 5520-5156 Laptop Computer - AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Dual-Core as an e-mail / internet browsing Open Office type platform. I figured my Kubuntu would be perfect for it with Seamonkey or Firefox with Thunderbird for email apps. (he's familiar with Thunderbird and likes it)
I was pleased to see OpenOffice 2.4 was bundled with 8.04 on my PC upgrade last night. I love that suite.
ANYWAY,... anybody see problems with the Acer Aspire series? Wireless problems? DVD burner issues?
It may be a dual boot laptop but hopefully not. That laptop comes with (shudder) Vista home version. So if 8.04 will get up and be solid there's no reason in my book to make it dual boot.
Thanks again!
