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.

First time in a year.......

My pc is half the spec of the OP and runs Vista x64 fine

That's nice.

My AMD X2 Dual Core 4600+, 4GB DDR, 8800GTX 768mb with 10k Drive cant even run vista at "acceptable" speeds.

And i know im not the only one.

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

Come on Zing......how easy does it need to be????
How much do you think i knew about computers full stop after only 4 months using one before i discovered Ubuntu last year?

We're off-topic now.
The OP has installed Vista.

Some people just aint smart enough to actually use linux, and understand a pc

Aww...your getting tetchy, why?

I've worked as IT support mate, both 1st line, 2nd line and 3rd line.

I dont help on here as i work with PC's all day, working on them in my own time would be rather stupid.

I could offer better support if i had the time.

Prove it

What do i have to prove? Nothing much really.

Infact, google christopher reid and contact him, he'll tell you i've worked with his company 1st/2nd/3rd line support.

I know alot about PC's tyvm.

And if you cant use linux, and cant understand it, i think it's you who need's to prove something, mate.

In fact I think Im just gonna stop using this place as much. Im sick to death in loads of IT tech sections people trying to shove linux down others throats im sick of this.

I choose not to persevere with Nix cuz I have other things to do and afterall the majority use Windows the minority keep on at the rest to change reminds me a bit of the bloody current affairs section and im sick of that also

Who is trying to shove linux down your's or anyone elses throat exactly?

I just said it's quite easy to use, and anyone who bothers to take the time to do so will find that out.

As for minority being on windows, desktop wise? yes.

Server wise and Industry wise, nope

LOL
Your funny.

Who`s trying to shove anything down your throat for >insert deity< sake.
With all due respect......stop spouting your FUD every time someone so much as mentions the bloody thing or just shut your gob if you cant manage that much!

Just because you did`nt like it dont mean someone cant even mention the thing in your presence.People only offered it as an alternative option after all and nobody was shoving anything down anyones throat as far as i can see..

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

Not over in Ubuntu Forums they dont

Yeah well lets have a looksee who asks for IT help here more you or me or offers better support?? not meant as a joke

LOL

Prove it

Double helpings of LOL then

Get a grip of yourself m8(either that or get a life)

EDIT.....Triple LOL....and you had the audacity to complain when someone gave you negative rep recently.deary me!!

You've done something wrong then. I've seen it run fast on machines with a third of that spec.

And i've seen it run twice as slow on pcs double that spec.
