Fedora seemed like I was spending way to much time looking for codecs and such, may have just been my imagination not sure.

So far though Ubuntu is my favorite because install and initial use went so well. I am right now downloading Mint and will try it today. Oh and I lost my desktop image the first day and never could get it back, I believe it was something to do with the LoTr install but with Windows who can tell? So anyway i put an 80 gig hard drive in this gamer and have tried out Ubuntu,Fedora7,and Open Suse. Also I awoke several times to a screen that said something like "your machine has been restarted caused by a crash of undetermined reason." Kinda strange as this machine has almost nothing installed on it but WoW and LoTr. Installs downloads were much slower than my xp machines on the same line. One thing Vista for me was SLOW even in comparison to XP.

Had to replace my printer and scanner as there was no Vista upgrade available and none planned according to HP's website. Fairly high end with a 8800 GTX card and such. Got a system with Vista a few months ago, for gaming. and now i will never switch back to windows
its free, its working better, its fast, configurable, no BSOD, no crashes, no internet disconnections, KDE is more polished than XP or Vista, firefox is much better than IE and Thunderbird is much better than Outlook while at first i liked the Vista's 3D window flipping, when i first time ran Beryl in linux, i was was amazed and it made the vista look like an old OS.

if i could run Cubase SX 2 or 3 in Linux i would delete XP from my PC Vista had not much drivers and didnt run everything when i tested it, its much much slower than XP or Linux,it had too many bugs, blue screen of death is still there. now dualbooting Kubuntu Feisty and WinXP i have XP only for Cubase SX so i can make my music as i like.
I tried Windows Vista and its a bad OS i was a windows user forever WinXP is much better than Vista after i tested Vista i was so dissapointed that i wanted to try somthing else and move on from microsoft's os 10 years ago i was playing with linux a little bit so i started test new linux os started with SuSe and moved to Kubuntu.

Over the course of the next couple of pages we will examine how easily each operating system installed and what is needed to perform a few necessary task. Mostly family and friends stuff, but making Windows necessary just the same. If I'm so happy, why am I installing Windows now? Long story short, I have some simple applications and some web development I'm doing for people who run Windows. I've ran nothing but various Linux distributions or FreeBSD on my laptop since that fateful day two and have honestly enjoyed it.

After a full day of battling crippled demos and irritating, worthless add-ons, I handed all 100 gigs of the hard drive over to Open Suse 10.1. At the precise moment Windows would not allow me to freely burn my restore partition to a DVD-R, I snapped. I spent the second day trying to remove all the "crapware" Dell had installed, with little success, and getting the machine ready to dual boot. The first day I just wanted to make sure all the hardware was working and was a bit giddy with a "new computer" buzz. My initial affair with Windows lasted an entire two days. The fact that it came with XP installed really didn't matter to me. I was constantly checking Linux on laptops and this Dell hit the sweet spot on price/compatibility at that time. Very much like the E1505N laptop Dell is currently offering with Ubuntu installed on it. This particular machine came with an Intel pro3945 wireless network card and Intel 950 graphics card. You see, I purchased the computer about a year ago and Vista had not shook the world yet. Why crusty old XP and not the sparkling new Windows Vista? For the unspectacular reason that it's what I have. Today we are going to take a look at installing, and running, both Windows XP and Linux Mint on a Dell Inspiron 6400.
