[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Hi a friend wants to get into Linux on his little pc but from what I can see maybe he can because of the complex features of this pc. Here is some info on it: http://www.htc.com/au/product/shift/overview.html

It looks nearly like a standard PC, I have only doubts about this wireless HSDPA/UMTS modem. Any distro should run on it, at least at the basic level, so I recommend to go with the one you know best.

Well my friend has to be the user of the machine and I don't want him asking me too many questions. He needs to get on forums like I do and ask the community or reads documents. He is far too impatient and I like the idea that windows is still there for him and he can uninstall Ubuntu at any time. And I have just spent over a year with Ubuntu so at least if I feel like answering questions I can. Plus there is the extra little things like that it is a phone. I dunno that page I read was pretty convincing.
