Tested on MSI Wind U100

 

Hai everybody

Hai I tested Lubuntu on my MSI wind U100, I am not a pro like you guys but I like to have my hands on it because I really believe lubuntu will be much better the Xubuntu. And of course I WANT to have a very lightweight linux on my netbook and PC.

I am running on Ubuntu 9.10 remix installed on my MSI Wind U100, after I while I started with Apt to install LXDE.... After running on LXDE I was satisfied and very optimistic that it will be one that I am looking for.( after a lot of switching for linux to linux)

Here are the problems on the MSI wind U100:

* Filemanager Pcman 0.5.1 on the left windows are drives displayed twice. if you click one of the with the same name you will get an error-message "Directory doesnt exist" * Wicd it a very nice looking piece but to bad, to while connection the the wirelles network (WEP) ofcourse it was validated but I got an error message "Connection failed:Unable get IP Adress" that was during the status "Obtaining IP address. * I have no sound I realize I have no mixer something like that so I dont know if its muting or not. * FN keys..... FN+F4 and FN+F5 is working very well,its for dimming the back-light and FN+F12 sleep mode is working but after wakeup its starting to sleep again and again after wakeup *My bluetooth is witched on with FN+F11 but no blue-tooth detected (sorry I forgot to listed with lsusb before installing ubuntu remix again)
* Harddisk external and flashdisk is working very well.

My Questions,request,Ideas,what I hope very soon or whatever it is.

1. The Lubuntu in alpha stage on iso,when. Ofcourse everybody is busy.
2. Lubuntu on flash disk image because there is alot of netbooks without CD or DVD. 3. Sometimes I got netbook that has an SDcard as HDA is it compatible with it ? 4. I think Lubuntu will be great for creating server from old PC's with GUI interface instead having console at from your nose and doing that Vi thing.Maybe is there somebody can make a server edition. While installing you can choose what of kind of server do you want to install.
5. And nice front-end for backup that can make image of the drives.
6. Do you guys think that thunderbird and firefox take of computer sources especially nower days there is allot of websites based on flash like farmville it make even windows xp slow. 7. What is the other syntax like dmesg and lsusb that I can use to get info out of my toys and to send to you guys. 8. Last thing that I want to say is.. I am sorry for starting asking allot of questions even the alpha is not out yet...

Well guys thats it... I hope its enough for the input.....
