New laptop, new OS
The women in my life gifted me with a sweet HP Envy 15-as133cl 15t laptop. I guess they saw the keys pop off of my old HP laptop a few too many times. The new laptop has an HD screen (1920 x 1080), a lot of memory (16GB), an Intel i7 CPU (not sure of the exact … Continue reading New laptop, new OS

Still running Fedora on the HP Pavilion g6-2210us
Just an update on Fedora 18 with Xfce on the HP Pavilion g6-2210us — all systems are very, very ‘go’ that I’m still running Fedora, now version 25, and I just replaced the keyboard on the laptop after individual key replacement didn’t go so well. When I replaced the “n” key, it took me a while … Continue reading Still running Fedora on the HP Pavilion g6-2210us

Unlike Xubuntu 13.04, Fedora 18 WILL run under Secure Boot after installation. I’m using full disk encryption and working on a separate hard drive (not the Windows 8 drive that shipped … Continue reading Fedora 18 with Xfce on the HP Pavilion g6-2210us — all systems are very, very ‘go’
Linux on the HP Pavilion g6-2210us — today’s tests: Debian Wheezy and Xubuntu 13.04
I swapped an old hard drive into the HP Pavilion g6-2210us and gave a few Linux distros a spin today. Why a separate drive? I’m not at all confident about a successful Linux-Windows 8 dual boot. For those keeping score, this laptop features an AMD A4-4300M APU processor with AMD Radeon HD 7420G graphics. The … Continue reading Linux on the HP Pavilion g6-2210us — today’s tests: Debian Wheezy and Xubuntu 13.04
