Karmic on a Sony Vaio

A crappy and old Sony Vaio, that is.

But, nevertheless, it works, quite good actually, considering that only has 768 MB of RAM, the laptop's fans are spinning like crazy MFs all the freaking time and that this laptop might be 4/5 years old now...
Installed Karmic last night on Hercules, my crappy Sony laptop sandbox beauty.

Things seems to be good, Karmic seems to a little, but just a little faster than what Jaunty was on the same box, neither the suspend nor the hibernate work (same thing with Jaunty on this laptop...)
Installed from the Alternate CD, a 32bits, obviously ;)

One thing I really hate about this release is the booting and the login screen, maybe the laptop's video it is waaaaay too crappy to handle it well, but I don't like it.

The other thing I don't like so far it is the Ubuntu Software Center, I don't use it that much, but with the old version, the "Add/Remove Applications" one, it was simpler to delete the Games, for instance.
