I just received my UBUNTU Hoary 5.04 (I order 20 but I got 58 )
I really like it.....It fast,stabil and The look is GREAT!!!

Ubuntu is the best distro after all ( I used to be work with SUSE 9.3 and Mandriva LE 2005).....Ubuntu is the best....

GO UBUNTU.....

sorry if this thread sound bad or funny....this because I do like (REALLY LIKE) UBUNTU

thanx

Great to see your enthusiasm. Ubuntu's a really good little distro. Gonna be running Breezy once they've sorted out the C++ stuffs, and do some bugtesting.

hell yeah ubuntu is the best the linux world has to offer right now

sure the hell is. it got my wifi card working, after ive spent 15+ hours trying to get it working in many other distros. this worked out of the box, this is INCREDIBLE. ubuntu is the linux savior.

I like the things I've been hearing about Ubuntu. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time to fiddle with it or it'd be on my PC right now.
However, I need dual-boot with my XP side (for the wife, and a couple of games etc.) and Ubuntu just isn't a 'pop it in and dual-booting works' type of distro.

Unfortunate.... unless you all know something I don't...

Ygarl, You can just pop in the cd/dvd and setup dual boot. You will have to go into ¨expert¨ mode and It requires you to sit and monitor whats going on and make a few choices, but ubuntu will setup itself quite happily next to xp. The installer certainly ain´t as pretty as say Suse or Mandrake but it gets the Job done. BTW GRUB seems to be the easiest choice as a boot manager as it detects XP off the bat. It also helps to just have an unformatted partition ready as I found that Hoary likes to sort these things out itself but I didn´t notice a partition manager that would resize NTFS for you. However, once you have a partition,Ubuntu can happily resize and format to your specs or 1 of 2 defaults.

Ahhhh... I heard the exact opposite! Nice one... I have partitions all set up already (and use Fat32 anyways - If Mr. Gates thinks I'm going to use his proprietary filesystem he's taken too many capiccinos!) thanks to Mandrake/Mandriva.

The wife is getting her own PC soon so I reacon I'm going to get installed when that is set up.

Ta!

but I think ubuntu had a lack of multimedia support....well you can still download to get it....but that's A LOT .....I actually like ubuntu.... but .... I dont know
I'm sorry
if anyone can tell me how to fix that maybe I will use ubuntu forever

Out of the box it's quite lacking multimedia-wise but once you open up some extra repositories it provides you with everything you need.

See http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories for more details. (BTW Best Guide for a GNU/Linux distribution I've ever seen)

Note: I left out the marillat repos though, I prefer using ubuntu packages only.

which source do i need to add multimedia? nerim? and why when i installed amarok (succesfully) but the sound is very...very bad... ???

I opened all of them except Marillat. But the Backports are a bit too slow for me, so I only fetch a package incidentally from there.

I've got Amarok working quite nice with the gstreamer engine and alsasink output plugin.

Good luck
