<div dir="ltr">OK, I had a Toshiba Satellite that died an untimely death after 13 months. Bought a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series. The 1GB is pegged with the OS and recovery partitions. Have several external HDs and hopefully all of the backup stuff I need. On the Toshiba, I had a Fedora system running. What I'd like to is put it on an external disk with the boot partition on hda1. Anyone done this? I'm up for a repartition on the fly using win8. Just a bit nervous about blowing the Dell recover partition off. Thoughts, suggestions....</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Feb 1, 2015 at 8:50 AM, Paul Cartwright <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pbcartwright@gmail.com" target="_blank">pbcartwright@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>

Dell Continues Shipping Fresh Linux Laptops jones_supa writes: In its<br>
latest move, Dell will be bringing Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to its<br>
top-of-the-line Precision M3800 workstation laptop and the latest model<br>
of the Dell XPS 13. Both systems will be running Ubuntu 14.04.1.<br>
According to Barton George, Dell's Director of Developer Programs,<br>
programmers had been asking for a better, officially-supported Ubuntu<br>
developer laptop. This came about from a combination of the efforts of<br>
Dell software engineer Jared Dominguez and enthusiastic feedback. Specs<br>
of M3800: 15.6" LCD @ 3840x2160, Intel i7 quad core CPU, NVIDIA Quadro<br>
GPU, up to 16 GB RAM. The bad news is, as Dominguez explained on his<br>
blog, this version of the M3800 doesn't support its built-in Thunderbolt<br>
2 port out of the box. However, thanks to the hardware-enablement stack<br>
in Ubuntu, starting with upcoming Ubuntu 14.04.2, you will be able to<br>
upgrade your kernel to add some Thunderbolt support.<br>
