<DIV>Hello All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I am offered a deal on a Dell Latitude D 600 and can upgrade the RAM and HDD, if it can work well as a Ubuntu / Kubuntu system. After bringing a desktop to two LUG meetings, I know it is a masochistic exercise :--{) I am not looking for a high-end or gaming laptop, just a more portable learning tool.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Specs:</DIV>
<DIV>CPU: Intel Pentium M 1.4 GHz<BR>Chipset: Intel 855 PM<BR>RAM: <= 2,048 MB 266 MHz SODIMM<BR> (RAM need not be installed<BR> in pairs, no ECC support)<BR>FSB: 400 MHz</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Embedded Devices:<BR> Video: ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 (32 MB),<BR> Audio: Sound Blaster compatible Intel AC'97<BR> LAN: 10/100/1000<BR> WiFi: Mini-PCI Wi-Fi (802.11b or b/g) wireless support</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Laptop support is much better than it used to be. Does anyone have experience with this model or similar hardware?? Wiki suggests it will work with minor problems:</DIV>
