“Installing Ubuntu/Kubuntu on this laptop is actually far more
straightforward than the existing guides suggest. Pretty-much all
of the broken/unsupported features can be fixed by simply using
apt-get to install a relevant package. Unless I explicitly state
otherwise, please assume that installing a package is done via
‘apt-get update’ followed by ‘apt-get install packagename’. Please
also note that some packages may require the Universe and
Multiverse repositories. As some of the packages in multiverse
don’t have proper open source licences, the Ubuntu developers warn
that you should verify your eligability to install those packages,
however I can’t see the vast majority of users having a
problem…”
