Something like Ubuntu has loads of drivers but it is difficult actually identifying which ones you need.
I spent ages on the Linux Toshiba driver issue, but concluded that Ubuntu basically had left the laptop hardware behind.
I eventually reinstalled the original mint 6 that worked well, but got sick and tired of failed to fetch errors.....same for all the ubuntu distros I tried.
Funny thing is when I went back to XP pro, it didn't seem to get clobbered with viruses like it used to.
Not to worry, it'll do as a spare even if it is big & fat (more like a portable desktop than a laptop)
