Earlier I tried installing the latest release of Ubuntu (Gusty Gibbon) on the old Toshiba notebook computer, but the graphics didn't work right.
I'm now booting the earlier release of Ubuntu v7.04 on my new HP notebook. (The earlier release, because it is the 64-bit version.)
It locked up during the boot, so I tried again. But it locked up again at the same point: "Configuring Network Interfaces."
No go. Now I'll try Ubuntu v7.10, the gutsy one. It got through loading all the drivers and other text-based messages. But upon switching to graphics mode, it stopped stone cold. No cursor, no CD drive activity, just a black screen.
That's too bad.
