Chromebook with Ubuntu.....
 
Had a novel one in a couple weeks ago at the shop, the OS on the CB wasn't playing, neither was any of the hardware other than the screen booting and displaying a horrific mish-mash of corrupted GPU output. The reason:
 
Me: "Did this happen after a particular change in the system?"
 
Customer: "Yes, but nothing I'd done, nothing major, I just tried to install the latest Ubuntu...."
 
And that m'lud is when I hit him..... :insane:
To go forward you must first back-up!
 
A4000 - In renovation
A1200 - 36Gb HD 2Mb Chip / 8Mb Fast
A1200 - In Pieces (Soon to be working again!)
A600 - R.I.P - Died whilst installing WB2!
 
AROS PC - AMD 2Ghz (SLOW But FAAST!)
 
PC - Phenon Triple core server - Just for media!
