My laptop came with:
- cd for DVD drivers
- cd for mobo drivers
- cd for 7-in-one card reader
- cd for hotkeys and other misc crap
- cd for usb camera
The manual warned me that if I installed them in the wrong order I'd have to reinstall Windows and start over. The manual has more than 30 pages on installing the drivers. After I installed these I'd have to head to the Nvidia website to get video drivers.
I installed Ubuntu 6.06 and everything worked right out of the box. I plug in a memory stick into any of the holes and it pops up instantly. The only thing I needed to do manually was install the Nvidia drivers, and that was accomplished through the provided GUI.
How is the first situation better than the latter?
