If 1101 HAB has the same chipset as 1101 HA (my own), then you have GMA 500 / Poulsbo ghost onboard. In the Statler I was not able to win with IEMGD driver. I have found customised Ubuntu 11.10 for that particular hardware, which installed with all hardware working immediately after installation:

Make sure you have checked the box saying "update packages during installation" or so - there were few minor issues in the original .iso resolved later on.
Good luck, or sell your new Asus to me for 50% of original price

Happy birthday!

I've tried to upgrade from CB 9.04 to 9.10 and had lots of issues - and 9.04 works perfectly well for me, so no need of newer version. If corenominal decides to go for Debian as a base - keeping grub1, keeping the way of CB - good; if not - 9.04 works fine, and I can wait till 10.04 for next release.
No hurry for me.

Omns, thanks for the script - something that will make it easier for many people, who always wanted to try Debian. Just one question: does it install grub2? Last time I've installed it, after passing bios test on my rig it was doing _something_ for about 30 seconds before showing me menu with systems (2xHDD, Windows XP + Linux). Don't know what it was doing, and I've had a bit of trouble to remove it, now I reverted to old, traditional, not causing problems CB 9.04 with grub1.

Two months ago, shortly before leaving from Oxford, I installed CB for my friend. There was some problem similar to described above, I just couldn't connect it to the Wi Fi. Then I connected computer via cable, updated system, rebooted... And Wi Fi started to work. Don't ask me what was wrong, I haven't investigated this problem.

Now that's not fair! I've been waiting so long to see 64-bit version of #! and it's in testing exactly in the moment when I moved. I've left my desktop PC in previous flat for some time, so I can't try it.
Btw. - how about Skype and other non-64 bit native apps, do they work without problems out of the box?

Comments: Wi Fi is way easier to configure under CB than under Windows XP

Latest discovery: RAW files from digital camera are processed quite well & fast with Bibble Lite - free for Linux users, i386.deb package available.

Precisely - that's my point of view, too. After installing CB 8.10, I removed some graphic stuff and installed OpenOffice 3.0, next in queue is LAMPP & Geany. My only question is - is it possible to configure Wi Fi from minimal installation? I've bought an adapter just few days ago, and I've just learned how to use it under GUI .

Anyway, given limited hours of day, I would say - 64-bit first.
