Everytime i’ve tried any version of linux, from OpenSUSE to Gentoo, Fedora to Ubuntu, and even Kbuntu, they have all failed misreabily with my network adapaters, not even using the windows drivers for them works.

I stumbled upon this post after having the same experience. I’m constantly switching desktops just for fun on a desktop that could never run Aero. I used to think all the pretty bells and whistles on an OS were a waste of time (both mine and the processor’s), but Beryl has shown me that it’s not so.

At work, I have to use both a Mac and a PC, and now all I want to do is have an Ubuntu machine with the two other systems virtualized. I just wish Qemu was as easy to use as Parallels Coherence. The only thing that gets me through the day is Desktop Manager running on the Mac.

I also wish ATI would write decent drivers for Linux. My lappy has a 9100 that won’t work with any OS except XP. Ubuntu comes close, but either I have to sacrifice s-video out or 3d acceleration.

@paul
Get one that fits your needs and your budget. I personally like Linux (Ubuntu user for the last 3 years, and an on-off Linux user for the last 8 years.). If you like tinkering with your computer, Ubuntu’s for you. If you want something all-ready for use, get a Mac.

@Connie
You could have several OS in your computer as long as you know what you’re doing. I’m still dual-booting Ubuntu with XP because I use software without opensource alternatives.

When I upgrade to Feisty, I’m considering using running XP virtually instead of dual-booting.

So hindi advisable to have two OS in the same computer? I’m still procrastinating.

Hi Max,
Ditto on the wow. Christopher, skip Edgy. Go straight to Feisty. Much, much better, in my opinion.
