I have a question, does the newest version of Ubuntu work with the XO and if so, how well does that run? According to you Netbook Remix doesn’t run that well on the XO, Has anyone attempted to install JOLICLOUD on the XO yet? its based off the Ubuntu Netbook Remix, but i think its suppose to be more efficient.

Thanks for the detailed tutorial! I’ve tried this tutorial and a number of other ones for installing Ubuntu onto both SD card and USB flash drive and I always follow the instructions to a “t” (or at least I think I do), but in every case, after the step to copy the installation image to the SD card or USB flash drive, something goes wrong and both Linux and Windows “think” that the media is blank/unformatted. Do you have any ideas/suggestions about what I’m doing wrong? Also, if you have any pointers to a good (and simple) tutorial on the Linux/Unix mount command, I’d be grateful!

Thanks!

What’s the equivalent of this under Xubuntu?
Add “maximus” to System > Preferences > Sessions
