Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu Kubuntu on (certain) Lenovo laptops not possible - reasons? Post 302312809 by septima.pars on Sunday 3rd of May 2009 01:28:45 PM

i don't see any reason why it would not install or run properly on this particular laptop.

it would be helpful to know: what kind of error messages or performance issues did your brother mention regarding the previous installs (or attempted installs)? this brings me to my next question: does the OS install at all? or does it fail DURING the install?

thanks
