I bought and received a mini 9 with ubuntu about a month ago, and recently it has started freezing to where the only option is a hard reboot- not even Ctrl-Alt-Del works. I am new to working with linux, and so have not had much luck in figuring out why it should be freezing, since there is no pattern...

I just got a Dell Inspiron Mini 9. I bought it from someone else and wanted to erase the SSD and start fresh (4GB SSD with Ubuntu, 512MB RAM). I put in the restore DVD (Ubuntu 8.04+ LTS DVD, on a Buffalo Slim DVD-RW External) and followed the on-screen instructions. Everything was fine until I came to...

As of writing this, those purchasing a new mini 9 have this option which means that you must have updated the kernel for these newer models. How can those...

Jesse, I have the same issue that Fernando has. I tried the same thing and got the same results. I was ready to throw the thing out the window!! I got on another PC since mine had become nothing more than an electric paper weight and downloaded an ISO of 8.04.1 since DELL had removed the ISO of the 8...

I like Ubuntu and I think it's easy to use. But I've been working in IT for 2 years and I've used Windows, Mac and many different flavors of UNIX, including Linux, for years. Ok, so I'm a geek. I think Dell's implementation of Ubuntu 8.04.01 with the Launcher is very easy to use....
