Re: Get My New PC Today :D
 

Personally I would dual boot it for now until you are sure of what you are happy with. Windows Vista with a linux/ Ubuntu dual boot.

Re: Get My New PC Today :D
 

Yup, Linux has eye-candy too. Look here:-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lawkc...elated&search=

Think about installing (K)Ubuntu.
:cool:

Re: Get My New PC Today :D
 

good on you m8 :tu:

Re: Get My New PC Today :D
 

Kubuntu is a good starter install or Freespire. Normally works out of the box and support is better these days.

Re: Get My New PC Today :D
 

Just about minimum spec. for Vista then. :dozey:

Re: Get My New PC Today :D
 

It`s got to be another Ubuntu vote here:)

Enjoy your new machine no matter what you put on it though.......:)
I have a line of Kids all expecting new laptops before i`ll ever get a new machine:erm:

EDIT::)

Re: Get My New PC Today :D
 

so which one of you wonderful Linux guys are gonna go round hold his hand install it and get everything he needs working on it then?

Sometimes it really makes me laugh with Oh thats just about minimum spec for vista and id install Linux of one type or another but you all know its not as easy as you make it out for someone who hasnt run it for ages.

Re: Get My New PC Today :D
 

You're right man, Linux isn't easy.
But as there is no OS at all installed yet...
:)

Re: Get My New PC Today :D
 

I have installed vista for the time being. cant activate it though because i dont have a cd key for this pc used my vista cd from my laptop. can you run live messenger on linux

Re: Get My New PC Today :D
 

im not saying do not try linux I do not try to shove windows down peoples throats but im realistic.Windows is easy everything pretty much is written for it. Support is much more readily available. When I tried Ubuntu last year the help I received here was good but a lot of the help I received was links to massive read me sites that didnt really help at all. So I a relatively intelligent man just thought stuff this for a game of soldiers and went back to an OS I could just use

Re: Get My New PC Today :D
 

I know what you mean,

I have found that when you ask about a problem with linux, the masses just say google it, that dont help anyone.

But I have had great help here from cobbydaler and my mate who is at the end of msn/gaim who I can ask for help.

but the masses just say google it, I have found only one other place to be like that and surprisingly enough it is javaranch

ik
EDIT: I have sent away for kubuntu... I have suse 9.3 pro, but I was told the new kubuntu is better, by my mate who I trust with linux

Re: Get My New PC Today :D
 

Not true for everyone.

i booted in linux for the first time today in a year, and i had no problem adjusting.

mind you i found it easy to adjust the first time i tried linux..par from a few networking things..

Linux is easy to learn...

P.S Vista does require high specs to run nice, when it shouldnt, its only an OS, not a top of the line game, remember that.
And on top of that all you get is a rather poor effect at 3d animations, which are hugely slow, and very impractical when multi tasking.
