Just for the record...
I tried Zorin Lite and Linux Mint and they appear to work fine with the Samsung N145 Plus notebook: no issues with either the keyboard layout or the display backlight. Zorin Lite works right out of the box with no need for any further configuration or change of any settings at all.
However, I am still unable to solve both these issue when I use LL 2.0 (32-bit) with this laptop, even though this is my OS of choice. However, I must add that LL 2.0 works excellently on my other computer, an Asus X71Q laptop (64-bit), where it is multi-booted with three other distros.
I just need to sort out the Samsung issue... any help/comments/reflections out there gratefully appreciated...
Regards
Mike
