Anonymous – You got it with Ubuntu, I assume? Then you installed kubuntu-desktop? Is that correct?

Actually they can’t take away the windows key as it’s assigned for the Expo plugin that comes enabled by default in compiz in ubuntu.

Haha, Windows key, when will they learn, but I guess making a separate stack of keys/keyboards for those that are being shipped with a different OS is too much trouble for them.

That’s a pretty good setup (should tank etqw on highest settings. Not sure about textures though, mine has 512ram). How much did it cost you?

I got this about a month ago:
* XPS M1330 13.3? Laptop with Ubuntu
* 2GB RAM
* 2.10Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 Processor
* Integrated Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator X3100
* 160GB 5400 RPM HD
* 1280×800 Resolution
* 9-Cell Battery

So far i’m extremely pleased with this system. It’s fast, everything works and I get about 4-4.5 hours battery life.
