Linux Sets You Free

i got to mess about with linux at college the other day ^^ had to boot it up off a disk or something :P i spent an hour jiggling the screen...

I would've loved Ubuntu.. The problem?? NO WORKING INTERNET FOR ME! Ubuntu is pretty much worthless without internet. I couldn't even get the graphics card driver to install so I couldn't get my screen to jiggle like jell-o x_x . I have a ralink wireless card on my pc and that basically screwed it for me cuz its basically the only wireless that didn't work with the nwswrapper application.

@nintendude7cubed
Have you tried installing the package "libstdc++5"?
You can download it from the debian site, (The first hit in google when you search for this package, just get it on your usb and then install it by double clicking it)

Anyway, if you can't figure it out, you can always get lots of support on the official ubuntu forum ;)

ubuntu is not ur only linux. try linuxmint 8. and/or pclinuxos google them

@Raja221 Or OpenSUSE, that's what the guys in this vid are marketing.. (You can see some SUSE banners in the vid, also the Gecko is from SUSE).
OpenSUSE is from Novell, it has actually a pretty good hardware support ;)

I'm converting to linux once XP gets too obsolete...

I've got Ubuntu and I can't get my Soundblaster card drivers to work...so that's disappointing.

the software modem driver by smart link can put your sound card at low availability so that only 1 process can use sound at a time

I use linuxmint on my laptop. no dualboot. for a year now. pure linux. and Fedora on my desktop. LONG LIVE the mighty PENGUIN :)

INstall flashpnlugin-nonefree in the pckage manager. JEEZ is it that hard?
