watts289 · Nov 9, 2006

Did any try the new 6.10??

I put it on my omnibook 900b

and it runs pretty good.

and evryone has access to root now
u just have to use root under a terminal by using SU.

but u first have to change the root password by going into users and groups.

i am now gunna primarily use linux on ym laptop and windows on my desktop.

running it on a tough book great os dependable steady and everything works though I dohave to start my wireless card everytime its a small price to pay

watts289 · Nov 10, 2006

it is one of the greatest os's

I think that ubuntu is the most geared towards the average home desktop user than any other os. besides winblows.

I was in some random store yesterday, they had Ubuntu stickers saying "Ubuntu, Linux for human beings"

Also, saying "winblows" doesn't make you cool. It's just as childish as Linsux.

I'm not saying you shouldn't say it or aren't allowed to say it. Plus, freedom of speech doesn't count when it's discriminating, racist or whatsoever. Which misspelling a companies name isn't. So I'm not exactly sure why I just bothered to say that.

Point is, they're called Microsoft or MS for short. Not Miscroshit, M$ or whatever. And the product is called Microsoft Windows, not Windoze, Winblows or candy. Jellybeans are candy however.

Might get Ubuntu back soon... thinking of Fedora but Ubuntu is the only one I know to work with my wireless card.

Frick · Nov 12, 2006

I tried Dapper Drake for a while on an older system (AXP 1333 Mhz, 256MB DDR) and it was slow.. Slower than even Windows XP with the same system. And for some reason, the CPU worked all the time. Plus I had enormous troubles with simply installing it from the LiveCD. So far the Ubuntu-experience has been kinda .. scary, but I still have hopes. I really liked Same GNOME though. Addicitve as Heroes 3.

Jimmy 2004 · Nov 12, 2006

Well... I was going to try Debian but that kept downloading wrong, I don't think Fedora supports my WLAN card so Ubuntu is the best option. Downloaded 6.06 again by accident instead of 6.10

Download it again tonight, takes less than an hour anyway now.

blacktruckryder · Nov 17, 2006

I can't even get 6.10 to install, i've downloaded it 3 times now. I get to the end of the install and my system hard locks. So i'll just stick to 6.06 for now.

i think im a whole "1" behnd everyone else, only got 5.10.

Installed edgy on my laptop...

Then realized how much I hate gnome.

And how bad ubuntu is with networking.

And installed mandriva 2007.

Much nicer for someone that knows how to get around in linux... honestly..

KDE forever!

It wouldnt get along with my Wireless, Mandriva sees it fine. It didnt like my network proxy at work, Mandriva sees it fine. AMAROK wouldn't install correctly at first, updated ubuntu, it installed, but "please install mp3 playback" ended up in an infinite loop.

Give banshee a try. Good player, if you're stuck with gnome.

Jimmy 2004 · Nov 21, 2006

Might give Mandriva a go. Do users have more power and control than in Ubuntu?

User administration offers Users with groups....

Ubuntu has gone downhill for the poweruser, IMO.

I'll download it tonight. I tried Mandrake a couple of years ago and wasn't too impressed, but I can't remember it well and it was on a PII. If it detects my wireless card I'll see how I get on, but otherwise I won't be using it

Drivers in Linux are just beyond me at the moment. :toast:

They are a pain in the rear for wireless, everything else has become pretty painless, thankfully.

Mandriva 2007 is still, making great strides since I last tried mandriva 5.0

I wanted to give SUSE a try, but they have prettymuch NO mirrors running at a decent speed.. got my mandriva ISO at around 800kbps... :eek:

ooh wow, upon playing with mandriva more-- theres a startup window like XP has for new media. Ubuntu just decides to open up their crappy CD player that didn't even play my media first time without asking @_@

and opening the hardware manager, prompts me to install new stuff!

WOW!

Jimmy 2004 · Nov 22, 2006

Is mandriva actually free? 2007 seems to be paid for and I can't work out the truly free version and if it lacks anything...

There is a free version of the DVD. They beg you over and over to get a subscription for a few things, but its fully functional. Just no "support". Then again, thats assumed :laugh:

(I used the free version)

Put Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE) 6.10 on my Intel "bad axe" system. It wouldn't install easily on my computer with an ATI card -- I had to finesse it on with a lot of editing of "xorg.conf", and fool it into some kind of SVGA display mode. With an Nvidia GeForce 7900GS it just installed straight off the CD image with zero issues. I've spent the past two weeks beating it into submission, including setting up Win4Lin and a Windows database under that. The only thing I can't get it to do is to read the SIM card from my digital camera in a little cheapie USB card reader. But it will read my digital camera when directly connected via USB cable. It doesn't seem to have a driver for my Samsung SyncMaster 1100MB, but I told it to use the 1100DF driver and it works fine that way.

Nvidia is Linux friendly has been 4 years now the green is calling :laugh:

I went with Kubuntu 6.10. When I installed it on a PC with an ATI card, the X server wouldn't run until I tweaked xorg.conf and told it it was a "VESA" card. Then I studied up on installing the ATI Linux driver and followed the procedure, and eventually it all worked OK, although the ATI Linux driver is pretty poor compared to the Windows driver. Then I built a new machine with an Nvidia GeForce 7900GS, and Kubuntu 6.10 installed on this one fault-free. I installed Automatix2, and used it to install the Nvidia Linux drive -- it is far better than ATI's and allows some overclocking on my card. No more getting permission from Microsoft to add hard drives, do re-installs, or whatever I want to do with my system.

I had no trouble putting Ubuntu 610 on my old P4 with a ATI 9000 Pro 128, no wireless card so no issue with it... runs fine

The old cards are starting to get a plan jane generic driver.... chances are you dont have 3d acceleration working though. Not correctly, anyways.

The main problem is getting true 3d acceleration... :banghead:
