    Has anyone succesfully installed Ubuntu hardy on a Dell Studio laptop which was bought with a Vista installation?

    I understand that Dell are now selling these with Ubuntu out of the box however I was wondering if any one has succesfuly got the ISO and installed Ubuntu on the Vista out of the box Studio?

    Thanks

    Yes, I tri-booted it with Vista, XP, Ubuntu 8.04. Only thing that was annoying was the drivers for the WiFi, but once you get it working, everything else falls into place.
