Re: Ubuntu on VPCZ13*

 

Dear list,

I followed the README and it works, I have nvidia drivers working (compiz
effects ok) on a vpcz13m9e.
I must admit it's the first time I use Ubuntu so I feel a bit lost with this
OS but I'm very happy and I'll the laptop.
If I can do anything to provide feedback to help others, just let me know.

Thank you so much all for your help and especially Adam for this huge and
awesome work,

Regards,

erick
