did you install swf? i found that works just as well if for some strange reason you cant get flash to work.

Nope. I did get flash working, but it was the most irritating process I've ever had to go through to get it working.

Ubnuntu: Still in Beta

Really a nice OS for the majority of the masses, if only thy realized it.

Go to synaptic package manager and search for flash. Better still is to go to adobe's site and download directly.

soooo i've never had linux on a rig before, so i decided to install this on my asus g71 gx rx05 and omg it's effing awesome!!!

couple problems though... number 1: i'm hooked, where do i learn more... and number 2: what is something i can use my laptop for that will help me increase my knowledge of linux and provide good functionality at the same time?

compiz-fusion setup

i noticed they ended support for compiz-fusion-plugins-extras

i am not sure how that will effect my current comiz-fusion setup...

HP PAVILION DV6500 (3 yrs old, Core2 Duo, 1.8 ghz), 320 gb hdd).

Totally devoted my ex-Vista notebook to this Ubuntu. Compiz slows it down very much. No games or background processes - just Opera browser with 25+ windows open.

Also, gave 25 gb hdd to Ubuntu. If you load too mant progs (genealogy, openoffice, games, etc), 25 gb is not enough.

The rest of the HDD is ARCHIVE + STORAGE, in NTFS-3G format, for transfer to a Windows computer if the HP PAVILION crashes.

Compiz is ok for children. Generally I have REAL WORK.

i am not sure what you are trying to say here? you can always turn off compiz if your system is to slow or old to handle it.

file and web server.. i'm particularly interested in systems or it administration.. gonna start a degree program in college this fall in information technology, but i'd like to become relatively intimate with linux so that i can do what i want with it..

i'm lost on the basics. i can get it running but installing programs is a challange for me, and the directory structure and shell are incredibly difficult. i can only imaging how hard getting a server or firewall up and running is, or doing remote management.

you would be surprised how easy it becomes once you learn the fundamentals. sort of like learning a second language. over time it just comes naturally and before you know it you are fluent.

an easy thing to learn is running a web server. you can install apache very easily because the default install is pretty much universal.

My advice to you is try learning it just command line. Its how they did it at my school. Just switch to a different terminal. ctrl, alt + f1-f6 will do the trick.

For ftp can use vsftp
setup ssh its a good thing to know, use openssh, lots of guides on the web.
Can also learn shell scripting if that interests you
