After much time window shopping options, I bought a notebook.
Acer Aspire 3623NWXCi is a basically a relatively small notebook with a Celeron-M 1.5GHz, screen 14 " 1280x800 (wide), wireless, 40GB drive, combo DVD / CD recorder and 256MB RAM.
All this by 378 in Tecnostore lucas. And of course, no windows!.
The notebook runs Ubuntu (using the beta version 6.06) very good, everything works without any tricks. Of course, if you want to install with only 256Mb of ram, I recommend not using the live-CD, because the installation process is much slower. Since
how well it turned out, I decided to write a small review of the computer, if anyone is also interested. First Impressions
The notebook comes in a box small enough, the first photo the sample with a CD below to compare the size, and the second may be inside when opened. The whole box weighs 3.9kg.
The content is then the user manual, CD with drivers (useless for Linux users), transformer, phone cord for the modem and notebook.
The size is quite small and lightweight, only 2.4kg and 2.6kg including the transformer (which is the minimum weight that I carry). The following photos show views from various angles.
available connections are the minimum, right three USB ports, modem and 10/100 network, left a PCMCIA slot, optical drive and the hole for the lock. Adelante audio connectors and two buttons, one to enable / disable the wireless network and the other for the bluetooth in the models they have (in this case is useless), and back has the VGA connector and the input food.
De manufactures notebook comes installed with a minimal installation of distribution "Limpus, in text mode. This really does not allow do anything useful, so you have to install a distribution on their own.
The notebook comes with 256MB of RAM preinstalled on a So-DIMM DDR2 in the first memory slot, with a second slot available for expansion. There is also a model with 512 already installed, but it comes with two slots filled, so it is difficult to install additional memory.
In my case, I bought an additional 512Mb of 37 lucas (in PCFactory), so that the computer started to have 768MB of RAM, enough for my needs.
Well, in a post and then talk about the Ubuntu installation and operation of the software.
