Hi, <br>I'm looking at pensioning off my Sony vaio with a dysfunctional display, so was wondering if anyone can suggest either of the following:<br><br>- A new netbook. I am planning to run Ubuntu NBR on it, so are there any that everything has worked "Out of The Box"? Is there anywhere I buy one without having to pay for Windows too? Can anyone suggest one with biggish keyboard keys for the fat fingered amongst us?<br>
<br>- I want to us the Sony to replace a print server, so I can sure one or two printers with a couple of linux boxes and a windows box, and possibly extend it to sharing a portable HDD and a scanner. If the Laptop Screen finally gives up the ghost I need to do things remotely. I know I can administer CUPS through a browser and perhaps use Webmin to look after the system, but what about Samba? Can anyone suggest a distro that is suited to doing this and is fairly novice friendly?<br>
<br>Thanks<br><br>Andy Coulson<br>
