    Hi I would just like to know if the latest Ubuntu linux distribution will work on my TOSHIBA laptop......

    ================================================~
    TOSHIBA A300D-13X
    * AMD Turion 64X2 Processor TL60
    * (2.0 GHz, 1600 MHz FSB, 1 MB Cache)
    * Genuine Windows Vista (R) Home Premium
    * 2 GB Memory
    * 200 GB Hard Drive


    (http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/507053#productInformationSection)
    =================================================~

    .....I have been thinking of dualbooting to linux for a while now because, in my opinion, vista isnt very good so im going for a change.
    Thanks for any replies in advance......


    .....If you do know if it will work plz could you specify a version....e.g.i386 or x64

    The linux distribution didnt install as usual from the live cd however using the wubi instaler installing Ubuntu was a breeze. I can now boot into Ubuntu but the wireless friver isnt working....The wireless card is by Realtek and i am currently copying my drivers from vista.
