I thought I would try installing the new Xubuntu 8.04 RC1 on a CF-28 Toughbook I have – I didn’t get too far – both the LiveCD and the install routine boot up to a blank screen. Ubuntu seems to have trouble with the Intel graphics chip but I did find out that if I attached an external screen and rebooted I could start the install routine since things would appear properly on the external monitor. I will have to see if I can get it installed and perhaps figure out what to do to get things straightened out.
Update – see my next post – I finally managed to get Xubuntu and Ubuntu installed on this notebook
