Would like it setup on the new PC for testing/learning. text/html 2007-10-08T06:26:31-05:00 Kieran Blenkarne http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/41289/?l=1#513352 Agreed. If I ran an office like business, I would use Ubuntu.<br /> <br /> I just got my nvidia drivers and soundcard drivers going as well as getting all the codecs i need, so i can play avis and mp3s. I dont intend to play games on it, just a learning process for me.<br /> <br /> only problem for me so far is resolution settings - max i can do is 1024x768 text/html 2007-10-08T05:58:00-05:00 Reason http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/41289/?l=1#513349 I used 6.10 for a bit, then installed 7.04, but I don't use it much anymore. It was a good experience to learn from, and it really opens your eyes to some of the things MS could do better with Windows.<br /> <br /> If you tweak it much (which you should if you intend to use it fulltime) be prepared to fix it using the command line and forum help. I'd advise either dual-booting or have a backup computer. It can also be a pain in the ass with drivers and stuff, and I never felt like putting the effort in to get games to on it. However, if I didn't like to game and Photoshop, I'd definitely use it for the other standard computer uses, like the net, multimedia, word processing etc. text/html 2007-10-08T05:11:47-05:00 Kieran Blenkarne http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/41289/?l=1#513348 hehe im on it right now <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile3.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":D" title=":D"> text/html 2007-10-08T01:30:44-05:00 FingerMeElmo87 http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/41289/?l=1#513333 i have it, but i havent playd with it for a while now text/html 2007-10-08T00:47:21-05:00 Adam Kolak http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/41289/?l=1#513331 Yeah they always got new versions of Ubuntu coming out. <br /> <br /> The name comes from the release date.<br /> <br /> 6.06= June 2006<br /> 7.4 = April 2007<br /> 7.10 = October 2007<br /> ...ok you get it...<br /> text/html 2007-10-08T00:32:45-05:00 ~Vel http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/41289/?l=1#513328 i'd wait for 7.10, after all it's out on the 18th. i've used dapper drake in the past but my wireless card is nutoriously bitchy with ubuntu from 6.10 and following so i've been veered away since then mostly because of that. other than the &quot;classic&quot; linux problems (aka driver support) i like it a lot. text/html 2007-10-07T23:37:59-05:00 Adam Kolak http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/41289/?l=1#513320 They shipped about about 15 of them one time, it was a mix between PowerPC, x86, and x86-64 though. text/html 2007-10-07T22:47:46-05:00 Bobby http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/41289/?l=1#513315 Probably not.
