Special Forums Hardware Figuring out if Ubuntu will work (completely) with an Acer One (w/ AMD fusion chips) Post 302491163 by Corona688 on Wednesday 26th of January 2011 08:27:31 PM

Considering corporations treat preinstalled linux like the throwaway OS they put on no-OS computers(just dump it on, who cares if it supports half the hardware) it's probably for the best it didn't come preinstalled.

I don't know of a list of all possible computers and their Ubuntu compatibilities, no. Laptop models change so fast it's ridiculous, you'd be adding and obsoleting several related models a month if you tried to keep one.

What you might do is pick a netbook you like, then google "ubuntu netbook brand model etc etc" and see if anyone else tried.

There's probably guaranteed to be issues since it's hard to get stock anything running on half the notebooks and netbooks they sell. For Windows they do the dirty work of shoehorning the weird hardware into working for you, everyone else is left to clean up their mess unaided.

NAME
apertium-lextor - This application is part of ( apertium ) This tool is part of the apertium machine translation architecture: http://apertium.org. SYNOPSIS
apertium-lextor --trainwrd stopwords words n left right corpus model [ --weightexp w ] [ --debug ] apertium-lextor --trainlch stopwords lexchoices n left right corpus wordmodel dic bildic model [ --weightexp w ] [ --debug ] apertium-lextor --lextor model dic left right [ --debug ] [ --weightexp w ] DESCRIPTION
apertium-lextor is the application responsible for training and usage of the lexical selector module. OPTIONS
--trainwrd | -t Train word co-occurrences model. It needs the following required parameters: stopwords file containing a list of stop words. Stop words are ignored. words file containing a list of words. For each word a co-occurrence model is built. n number of words per co-occurrence model (for each model, the n most frequent words). left left-side context to take into account (number of words). right right-side context to take into account (number of words). corpus file containing the training corpus. model output file on which the co-occurrence models are saved. --trainlch | -r Train lexical choices co-occurrence models using a target language co-occurrence model and a bilingual dictionary. It needs the following required parameters: stopwords file containing a list of stop words. Stop words are ignored. lexchoices file containing a list of lexical choices. For each lexical choice a co-occurrence model is built. n number of words per co-occurrence model (for each model, the n most frequent words). left left-side context to take into account (number of words). right right-side context to take into account (number of words). corpus file containing the training corpus. wordmodel target-language word co-occurrence model (previously trained by means of the --trainwrd option). dic the lexical-selection dictionary (binary format). bildic the bilingual dictionary (binary format). model output file on which the co-occurrence models are saved. --lextor | -l Perform the lexical selection on the input stream. It needs the following required parameters: model file containing the model to be used for the lexical selection. dic lexical-selection dictionary (binary format). left left-side context to take into account (number of words). right right-side context to take into account (number of words). --weightexp w Specify a weight value to change the influence of surrounding words while training or performing the lexical selection. The parameter w must be a positive value. --debug | -d Show debug information while working. --help | -h Shows this help. --version | -v Shows license information. SEE ALSO
