I would use Ubuntu. I downloaded it to a thumbdrive and booted it from there....but I can’t get the wireless to work. Anyone have any ideas?

I also downloaded Ubuntu to a thumbdrive. As I recall there is some little widget in the upper right corner of the screen that you have to click on to enable the wireless.

I found I had to do this and everything else, like install programs, every time I tried to run the thing; apparently because no changes were ever made to the image that was being booted. I could create files and put them on the desktop; and the next time I booted the system they were all gone. Anyone have any ideas about THAT?? !
