I use and support ubuntu at work. It's very easy to get to grips with. The add/remove program wizard is great. Why not dual boot with Windows & ubuntu for a while first? Also when you boot to the ubuntu CD you can test your system for compatibility. You will not need to wrestle with the terminal much, perhaps familiarize yourself with the apt-get command for getting cool/useful software upgrades. |

"Ubuntu Studio. A multimedia creation flavor of Ubuntu aimed at the GNU/Linux audio, video and graphic enthusiast as well as professional." would really like to hear from ppl who've had a go at this OS, have been contemplating giving it a try myself |

it does look interesting especially . I may try it on one of my PCs. It would be awesome if my DIGI001 would work with it but I doubt it. |

Ubuntu - HELL YEAH stable, based on debian, got sort of needed things included. Terminal is very usable for downloading/installing new things by apt-cache, and apt-get :) |

so why not just use a proper fucking distribution like Debian then? Ubuntu is linux for people who break out in a cold sweat when they're told they have to use the console to do something |

I was really into the idea of using ubuntu solely, but due to my studies I have to use a lot of Microsoft programs like Visual Studio and VB etc. When I graduate (which is soon) I will concentrate on doing more linux stuff because it is so much funner, Ubuntu is rad, but the problems I ran into were with making music with it. I couldn't find any programs I felt comfortable with. Their trackers suck, skale doesn't even run full screen on it, and all the stuff like rose studio didn't want to work. So I don't know ... The plan is to have a ubuntu machine in the near future. I don't want to dual boot either ... it seems to fuck up my hard drive every time I do. |

I strongly suggest people checking out Ubuntu. Yes it's linux, but as easy to use as windows. It's great ! A 2 week learning curve but it's worth it. |

Firefox and other mozilla browsers often crash on youtube when I use ubuntu...i've tried a lot of things to fix it but it still crashes, Opera on Ubuntu is ok though. For linux on a old computer I recommend Puppy Linux, it's really fast and works pretty good on my old celeron 533. You can even compile software on it with an addon file. I also find it somehow simpler to work with than with ubuntu. It's also easy to get rid of if you don't like it, it boots of the cd and writes a file to the harddrive for saved settings and extra programs On windows you can surf the internet safely too(...I hope :) ) using sandboxie from http://www.sandboxie.com/ Things like NoScript help a lot too |

I tried it and had a hard time getting it to work correctly. when i finally did, I loved it, but had to give up on it because of some problem with the LaTex editor I had installed, so i returned to good old XP. |

Of course, i'm using desktop enviroment - GNOME 2.18. It goes by default in ubuntu. There is many other desktop enviroments, but GNOME and KDE is the most popular ones. The new version of KDE - KDE4 is noe in development and going to be released in December of this year. Here is some shots of alpha versions of KDE4: http://jarzebski.pl/read/kde-4-rev-712779.so http://pinheiro-kde.blogspot.com/2007/09/ok-its-time-to-sho w-somthing-more.html |

The new ubuntu comes out on the 10th of October I think. If I were you, I'd wait until then. I've got a much older copy on a computer, it's probably the "nicest" distro around at the moment. I like the fact that it doesn't need masses of console hacking for it to just work. Console hacking is fun, but sometimes you just want instant gratification. The best linux distro ever has got to be my own homebrew one, which loads into a ramdisk from a bootable USB memory stick.... yeah check out my 1337 skills. :) The only question I have about ubuntu is, do they drink it in the Congo? |

What's wrong with fucking Slackware? I've been using it for years without any problems. (I even got it working on my laptop, which is about the cheapest, non-standard piece of shit you can buy.) |

that compiz fusion looks cool. multiple desktops that swirl around and with a zoom , great, lots more space to mess up and be untidy hwithin. thanks for your postings regarding umbungo :) |
