Ubuntu advice
I've finally got round to installing Linux on my laptop - not that easy, as it's a Toshiba Portege P3500 Tablet, which has no floppy or CDROM, and won't boot off USB. However, by the cunningness of Grub for DOS, I got the alternative Gutsy Gibbon iso to boot, and painlessly resize my Windows XP partition.
It picked up all the hardware in the laptop (I'm impressed) - even the Toshiba Wifi/Bluetooth card, which works perfectly. Very quickly got it connected to the internet over wireless and updates applied.
Now the question I want to ask is - I'm short of space (6GB partition), so are there any obvious packages I can remove? There seems to be an enormous number of packages installed in the base install that I'm unlikely to ever use.
