Wow, Windows Vista is ... confusing. A lot of stuff popup and gizmo's are on the right. Saving the Internet from popups but every time I execute a program there is a popup anyway. There is an old clock to the right... why would I want a clock there? I have the time on the task bar... anyway, let's whipe this and try Ubuntu. Just in case, if you decide to do the same thing, burn those recovery disks firsts :)

Let's put AMD64 Ubuntu 7.10 disk in it.

It boots, but that's about it. When the graphic interface wants to load, it can't detect my video card. There is a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M (UMA) in there. Let's try to choose nvidia... no luck. I'll update this post went answers will be available.
