Does anyone know if this comes with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or 13.10?

Be careful if you change the OS (even if you remove the original and install an upgrade). Not all Linux OS have the driver needed for WiFi (and some don't have the driver needed for cable). Now, that's not lethal. It is fixable if you do it the wrong way and know how to fix it.

Mine has 12.04 LTS. I actually just bought a 12" ASUS notebook and it too has 12.04 LTS. I think 12.04 is sort of the "standard" as far as support and stability. I've used it for 6 months and love it!

I just upgraded mine to 14.04 LTS, 32-bit (recommended for systems with 2 GB of RAM) and it was not easy but it now is up and running really well. 14.04 is a huge improvement in the GUI, and applications such as update manager. It also seems to have better power management - I run 14.04 on two notebooks, one a dual boot, and battery life is better under Ubuntu than Windows 7 Pro 64. I am not sure if I could or should have installed the 64-bit Intel version of Ubuntu on this little netbook. Would performance be better or is the 2 GB of RAM a big limit? BTW I am typing this on the 1015e with 14.04 and Chrome browser.

It comes with Ubuntu which is incredibly user friendly. My 18 year old daughter loves it - says much better than windows

12.04 LTS. I upgraded mine to 13.10. If upgrading to 13.10 using the internet, use wired connection to your router. Because at the v.13.04 step in your upgrade you'll lose the wifi drivers. You get them back in v13.10.

U can also install 12.04 LTS on any computer running Windows (dont know about junker Win8). No partitioning required. Easy. It installs beside Win so u just choose at boot which OS to use. Just in case u r interested.

If the price is about 1,400.00, then yes - it's the full installation disc. Legit serial number, Flash, DreamWeaver, and everything. Go for it! Better than the cloud version, in my book.

I don't remember if it was pre-installed, but mine is currently running 8.3. It should automatically update to be current.

It has a standard Ubuntu install, so if you can install it in Ubuntu, you have it on the Utilite

it works with 10.6.8 version (do not know about 10.6.4) and newer, and it comes fully packed with its own serial number.

NO, even tho the seller claims it comes pre-installed. Also no install disk included with the laptop.I returned mine.

I talked my sister through installing Linux Mint (a branch of Ubuntu) onto hers. She loves it. We used the 64 bit version and upgraded the memory to the entire 16 GB that it holds.

This one comes with Ubuntu Linux operating system. But I believe you can get a similar system with windows at a slightly higher price.

It is not including the Hardware. Only software.I returned it to Amazon, because of that problem

Thanks, I went ahead and bought it... it works just fine with my Red Hat Linux box, but it does require reformatting... I'm sure it would work just fine with most other Linux distros too.

Mine did not, but Linux installed with out any issues. I purchased one install disk and the rest of the OS downloaded easily. I am a happy camper

it is not on this laptop....neither is there a CD drive...I am totally unhappy with this laptop, and the vendor I bought it from. I would advise to stay away from both.

Mine came with 8.0 around Thanksgiving. Then I automatically got offered 8.1

It's all online and in the instruction booklet. The included disk is usually out of date so requires a download from the sct website

As indicated in the fine print, it comes with the trial edition of Office 2013 installed. I removed the trial version and installed Home & Student 2010 without any difficulties.

Not quite, you'd need to install memory, hard drive (sold separately) and then the operation system. For me, Ubuntu Desktop v12 worked just fine.

The version you have is the most recent version. I have the oldest version 1.01. Which I am planning to ordering very soon. I hope that helps. It's great software, don't you think?
