Linux vs Intel Core Duo

I spent my day at Uniten on 6/2/08 to install Linux in my notebook. Installing Linux in a notebook is a bit complicated compared to desktop. We tried to install Xandros but failed. Then, we tried Ubuntu as they had successfully installed Ubuntu in Compaq Presario V3000 notebook before.....again we failed...we kept on trying to look for solutions from the net...search for installing Ubuntu in Compaq Presario V3000...but we forgot about the processor till we meet Mr. Peyo...after searching in the net, it is found that Intel Core Duo processor needs 64-bit Ubuntu instead of 32-bit Ubuntu....no time to try....we had to download the installer which took about 24hrs to complete....Thus, I just downloaded the installer using a PC in the lab and leave it on....

This morning I received a call from Mr Taufiq, he had succesfully saved the installer into a CD.....we'll try to install Ubuntu from that installer...hope everything will goes well.....
