the past I installed Mint/Ubuntu 9.04 (I believe) on a Dell laptop, but
had trouble with the Broadcom wireless card. Nothing I googled
helped. The only advice was to wait for 10.04.<br>
Well, yesterday I installed a MiniInspiron with Remix 10.04. Again,
the b-com did not work out of the box. They lied. However, a simple
and quick apt-get and then install <whatever> from a terminal
window fixed the problem. Nice!!!<br>
<br>(What __wasn't__ nice was that in order to install Remix in the
first place, I had to create an live-USB from ISO drive. After
struggling with the creation on both Ubuntu (8.04) and Mac, I raised a
white flag and went to Windows. Yes, I know. It was too easy creating
it on Windows. Maybe had I used a later version of Ubuntu it would
have been easier. Oh well. I guess there are a few things Windows is
good for...sigh)<br>
