@Thesaakeman its funny how you pick two of the games that work best under linux ... you obviously haven't used it and dus, no one can take any more of your ubuntu or Linux related comments seriously. do research before you post .
@heydude09876 don't come with your smart pants comments about your ubuntu experience try running adobe photoshop or mxit etc. on ubuntu even installing flash player took me some time and half of the apps i use don't even work i mean look at that old skype or that old pidgin etc.
@Thesaakeman again photoshop can be run through wine or a virtual machine,there is a version of Mixit for Linux and there are some pretty good alternatives anyway.
flash,Skype and pidgin can all be installed through the software center which is a really simple thing to do. adobe flash will actually come pre-installed in ubuntu 10.10
don't come to me with your uneducated comments about your Ubuntu experience and try researching before you comment.
your a dumbass. i have a $1,800.00 pc dual booting with windows, strictley for games. picasa. google. com /linux/
there is a picassa for linux and you don't need to run it under wine.
and what if i had a mac and i wanted Imovie on a windows computer? there is always going to be software that will only work on a certain platform. try running kdenlive ( a proffesional video editor) on windows. you will need a virtual machine to run it.
the whole reason this comment fight started is because you were spreading misinformation about linux and i corrected you. so in the future don't bash another system without knowing what your talking about...

When you switch desktops, it better switch audio to the new desktop too so you don't have some noise going on in the background on a blank desktop ;-) if you catch my drift.

I got an emachine d620-5133, and it had monitor damage, 3/4 of the screen was covered in white, black, and red. It had Vista, so there was no monitor mirroring... then I installed Ubuntu, and everything got easier for me to use that one laptop... which is not my only laptop, I got this laptop used.
Im thinking of changing to linux on my laptop, does it run games well? and does it support blue ray player? My laptop has a blue ray player in it and wanted to know if linux will support it when watching movies?
i have never been a real fan of linux, still i have used before. Now i bought my netbook and i plan to use it to test stuff that wont do on my windows 7 gaming laptop. I just installed ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix on my asus eee pc 1005ha and everything works out of the box, using only 202Mbytes of memory out of the 2 gis I have installed. Its fast, responsive and can do everythin you can do in winxp, vista , windows 7 and is lighter for a netbook. Must have!
I love this OS, thought 32bit backwards comparability needs some work. Of course, you c could just install the 32 bit version instead and it'll be fine.
I have a newer version of Ubuntu 9.10 and I love it! I coverted my desktop and notebook PC over to the program. everything works.

Finally managed a successful dual boot (Ubuntu - XP) ..... but now find myself greeted with a rather embarrassing mouse cursor bug. My cursor is a 2cm x 2cm square of pixel garbage!
Can anyone help with this? My Linux love is fading. Starting to seem more bother than it's worth?
try right click on desktop, choose "Change Desktop Background". open "Theme", click Customize, click "Pointer", change the size of the cursor with the slider.
Many thanks for taking time to reply to my mouse cursor problem. Sadly, customizing the pointer did not rectify the issue. I've a feeling that it's got more to do with a necessary Graphics Driver (that I've not managed to find anywhere). Not to worry though, and thanks again for your time.
you should reinstall ubuntu and dual boot it then you should log into windows and install easy bcd find the reinstall windows loader and then try rebooting it should kill the grub loader then you erase ubuntu partitions and youre done
Oh and Ubuntu does require coding for some things, but there are almost always tutorials on code that is needed for certain things. I duel boot it with Vista 64
I love GNU/linux but i absolutely HATE Ubuntu. teh new releases made it HELL. I LOVE linuxmint, and PclinuxOS. and i also like Mandriva,. Ubuntu isnt easy to use as they claim. Pclinuxos and linuxmint is EASIER
i have ubuntu jaunty now installed in my system but my problem is it is locked in 800x??? resolution and when i installed nvidia driver the resolution goes to VGA and i cant change it to higher resolution cos the VGA resoltuion and other lower resolution is the only option...im using Geforce2 MX/MX400 ty guys
if ubuntu gave you problems, and you dont feel like fixing it via the terminal. just try something else that includes all teh closed-source software. try linuxmint, PclinuxOS or mandriva. you will love them. Ubuntu is not teh only linux out there you know :) i personally use linuxmint coz ubuntu gave me hell.
I have some questions about this OS. First, will I be able to install it onto my hard drive? Second, If I start clean, am I going to need my network card drivers and what not, or will Ubuntu detect them right away?
:( it hasn't for me i cant wait till it does though i love linux even if id never used it before the whole idea of community based open source os is perfect for me :) until then though there's always unix
do you have to wipe the hard drive to run ubuntu? and can someone tell me were i can get a ubuntu that will run on a system that only has 191MB of ram and a pentium 3 933MHz pracessor? and i need a download that still works cause i tried the home of the ubuntu and it wont let me get Xubuntu so yeah please help :(
Many lightweight linux distros will run perfectly on your machine. Ubuntu is too heavy for only 191MB RAM.
Take a look at Puppy linux, for instance, or Antix Mepis or Slax. MacPup is also a good alternative. Debris linux is probably the most similar to Ubuntu as to the desktop. Dreamlinux is also a choice...
I think i could point another dozen lightweight linux distributions.
They all release live CDs, so you just have to download and burn them, and pick the one you like most.
only reason i still have xp on the side is some software that absolutley needs windows for some wierd reason and wont run in wine.
and for the previous commenter i have never had the need for firewall or anti virus on ubuntu. viruses written for linux is so rare and since its open source updates come fast :)
If I ran a virus scan with one of your coveted piece of shit antivirus programs it would show my system as clean. But if you think you know more than a systems tech go ahead and continue with your naive assumptions.
@skaterboy379 Or pay less For something better and more customizable, granted Linux isn't for everyone but if You have the know how, or the patience to figure it out it's better. More stable, cheaper, faster, sexier and more you.
i dont understand what ubuntu and linux is, i know its an OP system, but since you load it from a CD, say if i did this then didnt like it, if i booted without the dick, would it have my windows vista just like it was before linux was on there?>?
yes, if you run from disc itll have decreased performance. and when your done press shut down, itll tell u to remove u disc, then restart and ur back on windows, however if u install itll erase vista if you choose to or u cn partiton ur hardrive in the installer which is a slider and u choose the amount of space to give to each, if you do this ull have to reformat ur hard drive to get rid of ubuntu
use a program called "Wubi" to install Ubuntu/Linux inside of Windows. When you boot up your pc, you'll have two options. WIndows vista OR Ubuntu. Select the one to boot and BAM. Oh, and if you don't like Ubuntu, boot up vista, go to 'Add or remove programs" and now select Wubi and hit uninstall. BAM ubuntu is gone!
down and dirty with the code lol Chris it doesen't eliminate it at all if you want wireless internet or flashplayer and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Thanks for your reply, i2310.
I've since found (channel) cryblood3's excellent dual boot XP-Ubuntu tutorial. I'll definitely give it another go. Thanks for the advice anyway.

Oh and Ubuntu does require coding for some things, but there are almost always tutorials on code that is needed for certain things. I duel boot it with Vista 64

if ubuntu gave you problems, and you dont feel like fixing it via the terminal. just try something else that includes all teh closed-source software. try linuxmint, PclinuxOS or mandriva. you will love them. Ubuntu is not teh only linux out there you know :) i personally use linuxmint coz ubuntu gave me hell.

I have some questions about this OS. First, will I be able to install it onto my hard drive? Second, If I start clean, am I going to need my network card drivers and what not, or will Ubuntu detect them right away?

do you have to wipe the hard drive to run ubuntu? and can someone tell me were i can get a ubuntu that will run on a system that only has 191MB of ram and a pentium 3 933MHz pracessor? and i need a download that still works cause i tried the home of the ubuntu and it wont let me get Xubuntu so yeah please help :(
hobbs312 2 years ago
google ubuntu, and itll bring up the website and download 9.04 "Juanty jackalope" its what i use and i have less specs than that XD
BassistBoy17 2 years ago
Many lightweight linux distros will run perfectly on your machine. Ubuntu is too heavy for only 191MB RAM.
Take a look at Puppy linux, for instance, or Antix Mepis or Slax. MacPup is also a good alternative. Debris linux is probably the most similar to Ubuntu as to the desktop. Dreamlinux is also a choice...
I think i could point another dozen lightweight linux distributions.
They all release live CDs, so you just have to download and burn them, and pick the one you like most.

i must say i love ubuntu.
only reason i still have xp on the side is some software that absolutley needs windows for some wierd reason and wont run in wine.
and for the previous commenter i have never had the need for firewall or anti virus on ubuntu. viruses written for linux is so rare and since its open source updates come fast :)

Not at all. Apparently 8 people agree with me on this too. Viruses don't put themselves on your computer. You have to allow them access.

If I ran a virus scan with one of your coveted piece of shit antivirus programs it would show my system as clean. But if you think you know more than a systems tech go ahead and continue with your naive assumptions.

Depends what are you using your computer for?
if you just check your mail, use the internet
or listen to music I would definatly recommend it
also you should keep an installation of windows in case you need a program not running on linux.
you have a choice between partitioning your hardrive or installing it on a fresh one

Running it on a virtual machine is good way to learn the user interface but you won't get the advantages of running linux(speed, security, etc)

i dont understand what ubuntu and linux is, i know its an OP system, but since you load it from a CD, say if i did this then didnt like it, if i booted without the dick, would it have my windows vista just like it was before linux was on there?>?
scroteTLR 2 years ago
yes, if you run from disc itll have decreased performance. and when your done press shut down, itll tell u to remove u disc, then restart and ur back on windows, however if u install itll erase vista if you choose to or u cn partiton ur hardrive in the installer which is a slider and u choose the amount of space to give to each, if you do this ull have to reformat ur hard drive to get rid of ubuntu
uvmedraco 2 years ago
use a program called "Wubi" to install Ubuntu/Linux inside of Windows. When you boot up your pc, you'll have two options. WIndows vista OR Ubuntu. Select the one to boot and BAM. Oh, and if you don't like Ubuntu, boot up vista, go to 'Add or remove programs" and now select Wubi and hit uninstall. BAM ubuntu is gone!
