mtorbin Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I just bought an MSI Wind (used) and I wanted to install Ubuntu on it. I've had a ton of trouble with 8.10 so I'm wondering if anyone else has used something else, specifically with the MSI Wind, that they like.

sKunKbad Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 8.10? Do you mean Ubuntu 8.10? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/144991-best-out-of-the-box-linx-distro-for-msi-wind/#findComment-767343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtorbin Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Yes, please excuse me. I did mean Ubuntu 8.10. I've since come to realize that (in my limited knowledge of Linux) that 8.10 does not OOTB work with the MSI Wind, or am I wrong?

sKunKbad Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I don't have an MSI Wind, but from searching around Yahoo, I found that people are definitely installing and using Ubuntu 8.10 on it. I run this OS on my Dell Mini, and it works great. I have zero problems. I'd recommend going over to the Ubuntu Forums and ask around there. http://ubuntuforums.org Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/144991-best-out-of-the-box-linx-distro-for-msi-wind/#findComment-769687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
codects Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I use openSUSE 11.1 on Advent 4211. You only have to tweak the resolution and wifi a bit, and bluetooth doesnt seem to work with kde4. Otherwise, everything works just perfect. Excellent installation and tweak instructions on both MSI website http://wiki.msiwind.net/index.php/OpenSuse_11.0#After_installation and openSUSE website.
