First Significant Disappointments with Linux
I've run into the first significant problems with Linux on my laptops. I had pretty much decided to go with a dual-boot XP/Ubuntu setup on my main laptop (S6510), the same as what I am currently using on the test laptop (S2110). But I had not yet tried the S6510 with its port replicator bar, which has a lot of the peripherals that I use in the office permanently connected to it. So I tried it... and uh-oh...
First, the Logitech AudioHub speakers sort of work, in that they emit the correct sounds, but they also have a loud buzz accompanying any sound. A very irritating sound... not good.
Second, the support for dual monitors is rudimentary, at best. From what I can tell, Ubuntu supports a second monitor only as a clone of the first, which I suppose would be fine for a beamer or some such, but is of no interest to me.
