I think that this new Ubuntu Hardy Heron is the most wonderful thing I've ever seen... Even though I don't have any video card, all the effects run great.. The only thing I have to say is that Linux rock... Ubuntu Rocks... Hardy Rocks!!!

lol, I pretty damn sure you spent more hours trying to get your windows shitbox working optimally then I have with three Ubuntu installations combined.

and what is that music program around 2:10

Well, I think you're right, but the theme does not occupy half of the RAM memo. But thats very certain, there is no OS that is perfect for gaming.

and last.. i agree the appearance of vista is better than ubuntu but look at it this way.. in order for vista to look all nice with aero and all that junk its going to use at least quarter or half your RAM and throw the rest into the SWAP file

vista wasnt designed for gaming it was designed to maximize security and networking (this is why DEP and UAC nag the hell out of most the users)

ubuntu has equal security and it doesnt impact on performance compared to vista and NTFS indexing.. lol enjoy

using the console is great practice and its where you would start to become a professional technician or a hacker

vista is an implementation of 25% WIN32 & 75% NT whereas winxp is 50% WIN32 & 50% NT.. ever wonder why some games you play under winxp DONT work under vista? believe me its NOT UAC or DEP preventing it from working its the way vista was developed.

i cant vouch for M$ but i could say that their NTFS filesystem/partition doesnt measure up to factory standards compared to EXT4, etc

[PiMpStAnLeY]

as for compatibility with games.. neither ubuntu or vista are good at that use XP

Win9x/ME were the 1st implementations of the WIN32 architechure and M$ didnt like it so they moved over to NT and made 2000 and NOBODY liked that but they sticked with it

Win9x (being the most compatible) for gaming because most games werent compiled to work under NT framework at all (until around 2003 and afterwards)

WinXP was an implementation of both WIN32 and NT and that became the standard for everything

[PiMpStAnLeY]

im sorry but that leopard release doesnt measure up to factory standards (tested on compaq presario CQ50)

ubuntu 9.04 boots in 7 secs > vista home boots in 12 secs

ubuntu data transfer rate (ext4 on SATA HD) 55mb/sec & 12mb/sec off DVD/RW to HD > vista home data transfer rate (NTFS on SATA HD) 3mb/sec & 800k~1.2mb/sec off DVD/RW to HD

ubuntu compiz or beryl performs very nicely > vista home aero & menu shadows slows the machine down to the point its unusable
