Dell XPS and fingerprint scanner
We have a Dell XPS laptop that I'm about to wipe vista off of and install Ultimate Edition - Harty Hotrod (ubuntu 8.04). Was wondering if there are any programs that will allow use of the fingerprint scanner? I like being able to walk up and swipe my finger, without having to type any passwords etc.

BTW, I'm only 3 days old in linux, so any advanced stuff will need to be converted to Noob language

Thanks for any help!!

-Will

DoH. I should have read the sticky first. Sorry. I found this on Google:

How to enable the fingerprint reader - ThinkWiki

I'll try it out asap and then post my results.
