Advent & Ubuntu, A Perfect Partnership?
Screenshot of Ubuntu on the Advent 4211 No. Sadly not perfect, but it is a close call. I recently purchased an Advent 4211 from PC World, this had not been my original intention as the MSI Wind was what first turned me onto the world of UMPC/Netbooks. The Asus ‘effect’ never got my attention, it…
