Comments on: Giving Ubuntu 9.04 a try http://dertompson.com/2009/05/17/giving-ubuntu-904-a-try/ some personal, more technical - by Thomas Einwaller Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:22:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Nick http://dertompson.com/2009/05/17/giving-ubuntu-904-a-try/comment-page-1/#comment-1296 Nick Wed, 22 Jul 2009 23:17:40 +0000 http://dertompson.com/?p=749#comment-1296 I love ubuntu. My wife, not so much. I find that it works great 99% of the time. However, that 1% of the time you want to do something weird, (like hook up a tv as a 2nd monitor via s-video) it will take you 9 hours. That being said, at the end of those 9 hours you will be an expert. I love ubuntu. My wife, not so much. I find that it works great 99% of the time.

It helped me to figure out why my sound was not working while my laptop was docked. It's also good to know that others are experiencing the dock issue, although I experienced the same problems in Vista, so I can't complain too much! Thanks again. -JP Thanks for your write-up.
