[02:52] <grndslm> what's the best laptop i could get for around $1100??
[02:52] <grndslm> are amd turion x2s any good?
[03:02] <Burgundavia> I would go with a core 2 duo, with intel wifi and graphics
[03:04] <grndslm> Burgundavia:  any particular brand you'd shot for?  Or have you seen a particularly good deal?
[03:04] <Burgundavia> look for a 2nd hand ibm thinkpad maybe?
[03:09] <grndslm> Burgundavia: really??  i've never really been fond of them... i had a sony, and think i might get another but one with better build...or an averatec...
[03:09] <grndslm> but my sony's build quality wasn't all that hot....if IBMs are really worth it...I might have to give 'em a look
[03:09] <grndslm> i just like light laptops....4.5lbs is pretty much my limit
[03:10] <Burgundavia> thinkpads are pretty nice and light and well built
[03:10] <Burgundavia> not the worlds prettiest, however
[05:18] <michaelpo> my winxp compaq presario 2819ap laptop fail to boot the ubuntu live cd
[05:18] <michaelpo> help
[05:44] <michaelpo> my winxp compaq presario 2819ap laptop, failed to boot the ubuntu live cd.. help..
[05:46] <Nailor> This is not a help channel, ask #ubuntu for help
[05:46] <Nailor> Plus we really can't help you with that short description
[05:47] <michaelpo> how should i describe it?
[05:48] <Nailor> Possible errors, what options have you tried, in which part of starting it hangs etc.
[05:48] <michaelpo> it stop halfway... while booting... while detecting hardware...
[05:52] <michaelpo> nailor: it stop halfway... while booting... while detecting hardware...
[05:52] <Nailor> Well. Can't really help. You should try noapic/nolapic options in booting, remove all excess hardware.
[05:53] <Nailor> Try googling out if your laptop even works in a first place with linux
[05:54] <michaelpo> my laptop works with damnsmalllinux... slax, puppy...
[06:04] <michaelpo> nailor: my laptop works with damnsmalllinux... slax, puppy...
[06:09] <dade`> works even without, you can power it on and wait it's discharged.
