Yes Ubuntu rocks! It is rock solid (6.06 LTS) and for beginners it also has Automatix and Easy Ubuntu....
BUT
7.04 might just be an actual out of the box replacement for Windows users....

Ubuntu all the way. I've also used Suse 10.1, and Mandriva One. Ubuntu is my favorite by far. Its also great for newbies since there is so much on line help available.

Ok, yes I am lame.... I downloaded 7.04 last night and went through the 356 updates..... :yawn: It was pretty fast though...
Now I await the final set of updates and will give 7.04 an extended run!
So far: I HATE FF2... Tabs? YUCK!

If you use Ubuntu and have not upgraded to 7.04 final.... DO SO!
Lightning fast, no issues thus far and I have been taxing it out.... Pretty sweet distro....
About as close as I have seen to a Windows replacement yet.....

After one day of use with 7.04:
Awesome! Wifi, sound, printer (yes i said printer) detected and working right out of the box! This thing is fast once booted.... Out of the box boot is a bit slow but with a few tweaks here and there it boots acceptable....
Anyone have a chance to try the Windows Migration Tool????
All in all, I am very, very impressed with 7.04 and like I said earlier it IMHO is the closest to a Windows replacement I have ever seen!
Oh, automatic codecs... Try and play something that needs a codec and it downloads and installs it automatically..... Automatix for 7.04 is up and running and it rocks as well..... Not sure about Easy Ubuntu though....

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's BSD-style initscripts. People may say 'oh SysV is too complicated with all it's symlinks' and such nonsense, but they make my life so, so much easier.
$0.02. I also use vi and not emacs. |

Tried putting Ubuntu 7.04 on my box today.
Long story short...didn't work. Wouldn't load installer. Just froze. And yes, I did check the md5.
Oh well I guess I'll download 6.06 LTS and see if that works.
The reason I'm doing this is because windows is now bluescreening so fast I can't even see what the error message is before it restarts. I have OSX on it but I can't access my SATA drive which I need to back up.
BTW It's an AMD X2 3800+ on an ASUS mobo (just replaced it, Abit one burnt out) with 2GB of ram. 2 IDE HDDs and 1 SATA. 1 DVDRW and 1 CDRW. It was running 2 6800GS's in SLi but I took one of them out when I tried to install Ubuntu since I figured there was no SLi support built in. I was trying to installl the AMD 64bit version of Ubuntu.
If anybody sees any problem with this or have any advice could you please give me a heads up. I am definitely new at troubleshooting Linux.
Thanks

Did you try the command line install? 6.06 is rock solid! But I am loving 7.04... |
