Threw a Wubi install of Ubuntu 9.04 on the laptop and - BAM! the wifi, sound, well - everything - works!
Think I will dual boot awhile - can't ditch Vista because I need to use iTunes for the Touch.
Nice, though!
And Hulu videos seem to "bog out" a bit...
i wonder what will happen to my triple boot if i wipe the older ubuntu partitions with this new one?
I'll have to try again - borked my install and almost killed my Vista by playing. Still, it's nice!
