Network mouse??
Yeah, I've found Ubuntu to be much improved. Maybe go with 10.04 LTS, which is still available (no Unity interface).
Unity is t3h sux... Gnome3 on other distros is a huge step in the right direction IMO.
Well, that was a waste of time and a DVD. I downloaded Ubuntu 10.04.04 and burned it to a DVD on my main Dell laptop. At reboot, it recognized my wireless card. But, I’d want to run it on my Toshiba which is about 6 mos newer than the Dell, and still in warranty.
I booted the disc on the Toshiba. It does not recognize my wireless card, a Realtek RTL8188CE, 802.11n PCI-E NIC.
I’m now downloading Mint and will put that on a stick, so if it doesn’t recognize the card as well, I’ll not be out another DVD.
This is what I meant in my remarks about Linux.
