Exactly. I've been around this block a few times. I have an ASUS laptop in my backpack that I installed Ubuntu on a couple of years ago, but I want something more portable, something I can slap in a shoulder bag and set up on an airplane tray table. (The ASUS is too big to be stable on a tray table.) Like someone else said in this thread, I don't feel like spending hours struggling because the sound chip (or functionality on a new mobile chipset) isn't supported out of the box) if I don't have to. Thanks, all. -- Carl Fink carl@finknetwork.com https://reasonablyliterate.com https://nitpicking.com If you want to make a point, somebody will take the point and stab you with it. -Kenne Estes
