[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 186012, member: 12214"] Yes, without much problem. I gave up on Ubuntu 13.04 because it was very unstable and doing weird things to the Linux partition. I ended installing 12.04, which works like a champ, doesn't play funky with the partitions, and is very, very stable. I just have a little tweaking to do to get it to adjust the screen brightness, otherwise it works perfectly. I have 12.04 on my Dell XPS 17" (L702x) laptop. It's been running perfectly without a single crash for way over a year now. That was a really easy, no tweaking necessary installation. Macs, are, well, Macs, so I expected a little silliness. I figure I have a two week vacation coming up, starting Friday afternoon, so I will spend a morning getting any nit-noid issues cleaned up. Thanks for asking. Glad I'm not the only geek. :) [/QUOTE]
