Samsung NP-Q430 laptop
500GB HD
Intel Core i5 CPU
4GB DDR2 SDRAM
1366x768 LCD screen
Nvidia 310M graphics card
Xubuntu 10.04 (Yes, I know this is a Debian list, but I have a slow
connection and already had the Xubuntu ISO handy - waiting to switch
to Squeeze until Squeeze is stable =P )
I wonder if the problem is Ubuntu or Xfce...
