hmm. Ubuntu installed

no internet
screen resolution dodgy - it's a widescreen laptop and the text is very blurry - changed to 1024x768 and it's better but text is huuuuge

no internet.

This was always my problem with linux in the past, getting the damn thing online.

Ah, you're just not trying hard enough :)

(eta: well, obviously you are, because the lappy is online now.)

lol. I tried jolly hard!

the graphics thing is annoying me - I've got the proper linux drivers from nvidia, and the instructions just said

type 'sh NVIDIA[gubbins]'

worked out I needed a terminal open, and eventually worked out I actually needed 'sudo sh NVIDIA[gubbins]', but it fell over every damn time muttering something about being unable to build a kernel.

Ah. You need to install kernel-sources (or kernel-devel, I forget which), and when you re-run the nivida[gubbins] script it'll ask to download the modules, and so on.
