Installing linux in Laptop.

It's great to see more and more people venturing into Linux. I am using Ubuntu for quite some time and I am absolutely 'lovin' it'. Ubuntu Feisty is beautiful and makes life a lot easier. I have Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop with dual boot XP and Ubuntu Feisty and it works great -- No problem whatsoever. I even wiped out my windows XP from my home computer and made it a Linux Machine -- and it works beautifully. I think it is important for us to read and write in Nepali. If anyone is having problem with it, please let it be known -- I found an easy fix a hard way. There are some great tips online that are worth doing after installing Linux. I bookmarked them but my bookmarks are such a mess, I need to motivate myself to find them, and hopefully will find them and post them in my next posting. If there are issues, please post - maybe one of us knows the fix. I also have some problems and need to find fix. One of the issues is while using "beryl", I can not watch movies. The screen just goes blank. Searched for a fix couple of months ago -- some said it was a bug -- got bored searching for a fix and I gave up. When I turn my beryl off, it works fine. So, I turn the beryl on only when I need it. Beside that, I can not play .flv files -- not even in VLC media player -- which works fine in windows. Anyone dealt with such problems? Anyway, thanks for the posting -- hope we could share issues and fixes regarding Linux along with this thread.
