Dell Inspiron Mini 9 ships with partition error
If you’ve ordered a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 netbook with Ubuntu Linux and an 8GB or 16GB solid state disk, you might want to check the amount of available disk space. It appears that early units only made use of 4GB even if the computer had a larger SSD. The problem is apparently that Dell was using the same disc image to format each and every unit shipping with Ubuntu, no matter what size disk it shipped with.
You can check to see the size of your partition by opening a terminal and typing “sudo fdisk -l” (without the quotes) and entering your password. You should see a figure that tells you the overall capacity of your disk, followed by the size of your partitions.
