Quad core, 4GB of RAM, 1TB harddrive, dual monitor setup, NVidia 9600GT-1GB, the works. Installed kUbuntu 8.04, Compiz Fusion (OMG WOW!) and VirtualBox amongst other things. On the Compiz Cube, on one side I run Virtualbox: Win2000 Server, replacing my old Windows 2000 Server which served users on the net with a Terminal for safe browsing and messaging. On another side of the Compiz Cube, I run another VirtualBox with WinXP for all the things I don't yet know how to run on Ubuntu. When I turn my Compiz Box around and enter the world of Microshaft, I find a smooth running Windows 2000 Server where I can let my users think they're all still on that same old, well oiled machine. If I leave it there, nobody will ever know it runs kUbuntu, unless they press [CTRL]-[Alt] and drag the mouse around with Button1 pressed. Otherwise, you can't get out of it. I love it! Ubuntu runs WAY smoother than Windoze, my sound finally plays well, my videos no longer jabber, I can finally really take advantage of my broadband internet connection (which XP refused to really stream). My programs don't crash anymore, my operating system doesn't take over 1GB of memory and swaps it out all the time. My Ubuntu *has* a swap file, it just never uses it. For all those Windoze users out there: Just try Ubuntu. It's SO easy, free, more stable, more streamlined, etc, etc, etc (I could go on for hours). If you don't want to repartition anything when trying out Ubuntu, try Wubi. It's a Windoze application that installs Ubuntu in ONE file on your Windoze system. You can reboot into Ubuntu and Windows and if you REALLY don't want Ubuntu, you can just remove it using your Add/Remove Programs. I'll guarantee you that you're going to want to keep using Ubuntu!

Please bear in mind that I want to KEEP my IP address, subnet mask and gateway assigned by DHCP. It can easily be done in Win-2k/XP but I could not figure out how to do it in Ubuntu. As far as some people's views that have been expresssed here are concerned I believe that a Windows freak is as damaged (and damaging) as a Linux freak. Cheers, --- Theo Dear All,

If you want things to "just work", then this is the right distro. there are fanboys of ubuntu who preach open source, and I am one of em, but do not let people stop you from enjoying what is YOUR experience in linux. I am glad that we can finally say that there is a linux out there for everyone. The biggest thing I love about ubuntu is that I can enjoy linux instead of having to beg it to do something simple, like dial my modem or find WiFi hotspots. Better to be linux then to be crushed under the boot of proprietary DRM of micro$haft. If you want it to look like windows to transition you, more power to you.

My 1st 'puter was an apple II. I wish I could "terminal" but know I never will know much about it. Ubuntu has been like my Toyotas---flawless behavior, comfortable, dependable. The help available is super. I again thank those who have helped me . I keep thinking to myself how much more I could do if I knew how, but Ubuntu hasn't stopped me from doing what I'm trying to do. Ubuntu is a real pleasure that will only get better, I'll wager. I’m retired. My 1st ‘puter was an apple II. I wish I could “terminal” but know I never will know much about it.

Why use Windows when Linux is stabler, more reliable, more secure, more user-friendly, has a better supprot community, free, and above all more convenient? The only thing I would use Windows for is possibly 3-D gaming (there are not many games for Linux), and even then I would probably pick a Windows emulator (of course Wine Is Not an Emulator) in its stead. But then again, I am a radical Windows hater... Also, to deadlynoob:
