[01:18] <KB1JWQ> So what's broken, MavJac? :-)
[01:18] <MavJac> Any of you have experience with 10.04 on Dell Inspiron 15n http://www.dell.com/ubuntu
[01:18] <MavJac> ha
[01:19] <MavJac> I need a new laptop...Mine is 6 years old and near death
[01:20] <KB1JWQ> MavJac: Not directly, but I've used Ubuntu on a lot of systems without seeing much in the way of issues.
[01:20] <KB1JWQ> MavJac: Including a bleeding-edge Thinkpad.  That... took some doing. :-)
[01:21] <KB1JWQ> If they're selling it as "ubuntu compatible" then you're likely fine.
[01:21] <MavJac> yeah I figured so.  Just wonder why they haven't updated to 10.04
[01:36] <MavJac> I now have 1gig of memory, If I upgraded to 2g would it make a noticeable difference on an old laptop?
[01:40] <KB1JWQ> Most definitely.
[01:43] <MavJac> because that would be much cheaper than buying a new laptop
[02:01] <KB1JWQ> What're the laptop's specs?
[02:01] <KB1JWQ> RAM is cheap, so... :-)
[02:08] <MavJac> I have a Gateway M285E
[02:09] <MavJac> And yes, RAM is cheap :)
[02:09] <MavJac> I'm a broke college student so cheap is my best friend
[02:14] <KB1JWQ> I hear that.
