Installing Kubuntu Linux On A Sony TX1XP Laptop

• Updates for Edgy
  • include kernel recompile to make suspend to ram work!
  • much of the above is no longer required in edgy

The rest of this was written about my experience with Kubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger). There are a few bits still relevent, but if you are using 6.10 (Edgy Eft) then the above page should cover everything you'll need. TX1XP - Feedback, thanks and comments plus details about the mailing list
