I've just downloaded the newest version of Ubuntu, as I have other version 
of Linux. I've always been going to get around to trying it, even built the 
odd PC to try it out on but given these away to needy causes.

I have even thought about installing it on one of my laptops, but one thing 
has always stopped me............does Ubuntu have it's own drivers for the 
component parts of my laptop or would I need to do an internet seach for 
them and install seperately.
I once bought a nice little notebook, second hand and the drive went down, 
taking with it, the restore partition so I installed a copy of windows I had 
with my PC, but what a job I had to find some of the drivers.

So if anyone can answer this question, I might, just might try and get into 
Linux and say goodbye to Windows.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
