Ubuntu revisited
Ok thought I would give it a bit of a chance seeing as its been quite a while since I last got anywhere with it.
Downloaded and installed using the within windows option and I have to say I am surprised. The proprietry ATI driver was easy to find and it installed itself it has the control panel and does appear to take on my screen projector and tv. The network just worked which is good as does the sound. Open office is already installed and I have access to my media etc.
Problems for the basic use option are only 2.
1 Video playback is choppy using the default player there isnt another one installed what should I use and how do I go about installing it
2 Audio for it to be fully working I would need to send audio out via speakers and sometimes through spidif I can not seem to find enough audio options any ideas?
I am getting hold of a job lot of PIII laptops 850 mhz 256 meg ram being lowest spec some will be better and I am thinking about installing Ubuntu onto them as it does seem a viable option which a year or so ago I would not have considered (bet some of ya are shocked or what lol )
