I'm finally getting around to configuring my Dell Latitude e5400 laptop.

I was given this laptop to use by my university during my Masters. Provided I finished that I was entitled to keep it. I did finish the Masters and it's mine, but it had to be reformatted from Windows XP to (of all things) Windows Vista. Last year I investigated if I could upgrade any of the hardware but apparently that's unlikely or uneconomical. So it's been sitting in the Studio for a whole year, gathering dust.

As pitiful as it might seem nowadays, I do have a use for it, as a Netbook. But although Tech Support had formatted it as Vista, they didn't install any drivers other than what came with that install, so no WiFi or Modem access. Yesterday I went to the Dell site and found the drivers for each, and now it connects to my home network and the Internet. A few months back I installed KDE Mint as a dual boot on it but I might try updating that as well.

Otherwise, I just want to install versions of Firefox, and some Seondlife/Hypergrid viewers on it, and I'll be happy. I might add a version of Paint Tool Sai and/or Krita, but that'll be it.
