What addons are you using for the taskbar and windows animations? :O

[darkone778]

@Ngcarson1337 the addons for the animations are in Linux only its called Compiz for the animations of menus and the desktop. if you want something for windows cant help you there more than likely try stardocks products is my best recommendation

you dont even need the disc to get the internet to work. i tried using it once, and it just kept freezing.

You just gotta go into your router and set it up.

[nikkolei]

some of the comment make sense some of them do not but the thing is she is just new on this stuff i mean if you ask her to config her router she wouldnt even know how to do it......she needs more basic stuff about softwares and how they work lol

P.S My computer says i need more RAM so how do i download it? XD

[goochbuntu]

now you can plug the 3g card in and it automaticly finds it no cd needed i think back in 2009. it was there too just use the inf file on the little cd if needed or take the laptop so you can hard connect and the interwebs will update the system :P

Dell will take it back for a 12% restock fee if you order a new one from them at the same time. You make a mistake you pay for it. Welcome to the real world. College ha try jr high might be closer to her level. Slow news day when a simple RTFM and phone hangup gets air time.

@xkeltoix I downloaded Ubuntu, I got on the internet first thing.

[99TheLaw]

She traded Ubuntu for Vista lol. I bet she see's the PC maintenance guy every 2 weeks and has to bloat the computer with anti virus, anti spyware, do defrags for that crappy NTFS. Who knows maybe she is a linux user today lol. Vista is junk and so is 7.

[MsPwain]

OK. The alternative for her would be Vista?

I'd say she was damn lucky for getting Ubuntu instead! Vista was not an OS. It was living hell. The absolutely slowest "graphical interface" on earth. I hated it, and it made me switch to Linux Mint completely.

[VideoGuyNC]

Dude - if she was stupid enough to not read the dell order form and info, she isn't going to know how to do anything unless it's as Kindergarten as a mac. She shouldn't even have something as powerful as Mickeysoft's Windows. Ubuntu is as simple as it gets for thinking people. Also - macs blow donkey balls. Why do most "open-source" fans say they like macs? The crApple mac product line bores real geeks.

I know this is an old video but I didn't see it...

Like you said it is almost impossible to fine the Ubuntu page on DELL site...

Then instead of asking for help, or looking on youtube , or I don't just going to the store and picking up a copy of Windows... she just drops out of on-line school... come on really that is just dumb... I love your video ...
