[HLUG] HLUG 'Beginners Linux' Special Event Thanks!

[Pete]

Hi George,
I just tried to install Ubuntu Studio on one of my Zombie boxes, and get 
caught out on the low latency kernel - engineered to make real time 
audio editing possible and no use at all in a graphics context -which is 
what I was after. :(
Apart from that, after installation ( from a downloaded CD iso) and 
running updates, it would not run any additiional apps despite claiming 
it had installed them. Also it refused to recognise the extra drive, 
either at install or from any tools later.
I give up, and will be wiping the drives and installing a reliable KDE 
distro and the graphics apps.
I too am impressed by the potential in these IBM laptops...
