My GnuPG key

We can communicate via secure e-mail using GnuPG / OpenPGP, which I strongly recommend. More details in this guide.

For those seeking to write to me, here is my public GnuPG key:

Installing Linux on a Dell Studio 1535


Linux On Laptops


Today I've installed GNU/Linux on a Dell Studio 1535.

Because the laptop it's not mine and good/complete hardware support was the most important objective, I've used Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex), not Fedora 10 or CentOS.

However, I've obtained the laptop's hardware profile via smolt - it's here:

or locally:

Manufacturer only provides drivers for Windows Vista; however, here is an useful link directing you how to install Windows XP, which proved to be OK.
