Positive comment of Linksys router support

Recently I have a problem of keep loosing of internet connection from Linksys router after I switched into different internet provider. I bought a new router from different brand. You know what, before I installed the new router, I tried to get support from http://www.linksys.com/. The response was positive. With a patiance step by step, a technical support staff guided me to upgrade the firmware because the firmware was obsolete and needs to be upgraded. After guiding me about more than 30 minutes, the problem of keep loosing connection was solved. I put on double thumbs up for the support that Linksys gave.
So if you have problem with Linksys product, don't hesitate to contact them to get support. They'll be so helpful.
Thanks Linksys.

Installing Ubuntu Gutsy on Sony Vaio VGN-NR120E

After playing around with Ubuntu Gutsy liveCD for about one week, I decided to install this distro onto the hard drive permanently. The goal is to use the perinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium OS plus use the free OS, Ubuntu 7.10 (code name Gutsy Gibbon). I run this linux distro for a while on my Dell Inpiron GX260 desktop. I also dual boots the OS with Windows XP (posted on previously). This time is dual booting Ubuntu and Windows Vista on a laptop. I am a bit nervous before really doing it. I read some posting that we cannot really expect for the distro on laptop (many brands) to work 100 percent. Almost always something missing to work. The biggest problem (at least to my knowledge) of linux in general on laptops is the wireless card, which is sometimes is not supported by the kernel.

Dual booting Ubuntu and Windows Vista (coming)
(still to come)

After installation is complete:
If advance desktop effect cannot be enabled/activated, from synaptic or terminal, install xserver-xgl . In my case it solved the problem. If not, consult google.

Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD on Sony Vaio VGN-NR120E laptops

I failed to boot when trying ro run Ubuntu 7.10 live CD on my laptop Sony Vaio VGN-NR120E. I did googling and found a hint and it worked.
The hint is below:
1. Insert the Ubuntu 7.10 live CD
2. Press F6 (Option) when you are asked to choose some options
3. Type "noapic nolapic" (without quotes) before --
4. Enter and you are in Ubuntu live CD.

On my case: screen was correctly display, Fn keys for volume work normal, Fn keys for brightness not working.
Hope this will help.
