I have Ubuntu Hardy Heron on my HP Laptop :)

I have Mac OS X but I'm thinking of making my own linux computer.

Mac OS X Leopard and loving it!

I dont really use linux regularly as a desktop OS, but as a server OS it kicks ass! I bought a VPS at the same time as a friend of mine, except I bought one with ubuntu, and he bought one with server 2003 installed. Mine now has a proxy with ads to generate revenue thats had about 2000 page views since it was set up 2 days ago, and my friend sill can't figure out how to set up IIS (i suspect this is because IIS is a piece of crap, as I have experienced for myself in the past).

Linux ftw! :D

i love linux but i have driver issues
i love linux cause itl run full speed on a shitty comp

I dual-boot backtrack and windows xp, but im downloading the new kalyway release now, so it may become a triple boot.

I only boot Windows for iTunes and converting books from .lit format. Other than that I have 98% of my time on Linux.

That is why I am excited about this forum (linux specific), so that once a linux client for the Ipod Touch is discovered I'll find out right quick.

Hip Hip Hooray for BGizzle for this forum!

xp/vista/unbuntu/osx86/OS2/ in total 3 computers(2desktops 1 laptop)
I use all of them bi-daily expect OS2
OS2 LONG LIVE IBM

I've Ubuntu but it wont work with my Internet :(

I have SUSE Is this any good? I also have a wireless card I tried to use Suse but I have no idea how to use it. Anybody familiar with it?

I'm using Hardy at home right now. Server runs Gusty server edition.

i use ubuntu on my dell inspiron 8600... there are so many driver issues... i have to uninstall then reinstall the internet driver firmware thing every time i use it :mad:
pisses me off

also, i have downloaded and installed flash 9 like 10 times, and it says i have 8.0...

i might go from gutsy to hardy... still getting used to gutsy

I use Vista x64, OSX 10.5.2 and Debian

For me, 2 servers running Gentoo, dual booted laptop with Ubuntu and a test system with Debian.

ive been running ubuntu for awhile now and i love it. its kind of weird with itunes and stuff so i have my macbook pro running leopard.

i'm running leopard xp and ubuntu on my laptop at the moment but i'm getting rid of leopard it's not 100% compatible with the hardware i have so it's kinda unstable and slow i just put it on to prove to a guy that it was possile all be it so annoying that no one in their right mind would be able to stand using it. nd on my home computer ubuntu and xp and use a live cd of ubuntu at times also

I am running Kubuntu linux and it works fine but i have to dual boot with windows to sync my ipod.
Kubuntu = Ubuntu + KDE

I am running Ubuntu 8.04. It is a lot faster than XP. I use Xp for some stuff.

m on triple on one laptop
mac osx (never used becuase of internet being a cunt)
vista (mainly used becuase of itunes)
unbuntu hardy (literalyl just installed we will see how that goes)
long live windows
:)

(when it gets to stage where it useable and doesnt hog 90% of the processes)

I'm running Kubuntu 7.10 on 2 separate computers. Actually have my work laptop dual-booting with Linux and Windoze.

I use XP performance edition, Ubuntu which everything is working 100%, and OSX86 Leopard iATKOS which is only missing wireless support. Stupid broadcom 4311 is the worst wireless card when it comes to anything but windows.

You can sync your iPod in linux...no need to dual-boot. I'm on Kubuntu as well.

No I definitely mean Performance Edition (http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4055064/Windows_XP_Performance_Edition_February_2008_-_English). Its a stripped down version of XP with all the bs that you dont need uninstalled. You should try it out. I got my laptop booting up to the desktop from powered off in 20 seconds with this version of xp. And its only 211mb. Give it a try.

Though only Backtrack 2 worked with my USB Adapter.

Backtrack 3 = No Go. When is it gonna leave Beta :(

I'm on Linux :-), but with SiS graphics card, so I'm screwed. But I don't care. I love Linux. Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 (Wooh, 8.04 coming out soon, entirely renovated). Might be updating to FreeBSD though... We'll see.

I know what Unix is, I'm just asking if he is using the Original Unix.

Look at the way he put it: Ubuntu + Mac OS X + Unix + FreeBSD

He could have put it like this:

Ubuntu + Mac OS X + FreeBSD = UNIX Family

He's probably using SunOS or something silly like that, that no one really uses anymore except businesses running legacy software.

I have linux installed in VMWare on my Mac now since i just sold my Linux tower that i had been using for everything before i got my Mac. I will never be able to get rid of linux.

I installed Ubuntu last nite...but I am a complete NOOB...I don't know how to install or anything..anybody here an avid Ubuntu user that can help me out a little:D

I am pretty good with Ubuntu, you can ask me some questions, and I can try to get an answer back to you as soon as I can. There is also ##Ubuntu IRC Chat room in FreeNode. :), hope to see you there, or here!

I'm running a Ubuntu/XP dualboot, using Ubuntu for games and general stuff and XP for Call of Duty 4 and iPod stuff.

I love Ubuntu, most of my favourite games run flawlessly with Wine.

Hardy Heron with WINE dualboot with XP

I do! Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 (and Mac OS X 10.5 and Windows XP (just for games))

hehehehehe im getting Mac OS X sometime within the next week or so, well as soon as i sell my guitar for the money, which you guys can find by following the link on my signature, but anyways im psyched!

Well, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04. From the first 20 minutes of use, it's pretty easy to use. It might be a little hard to get used to because I have been a windows user for years. Do you guys have any tips or tricks that will be useful for a windows turned linux user?

is it any good?

Hey Alex,
Let me start off by saying congratulations on the successful move (hopefully no bumps) to Ubuntu! I've been running it for about 2-3 months now, and have enjoyed my experience with it. I'm in the IRC Room (as Gabe_G23, I want to change my current screen name here to that by the way) and I try to get on whenever I have access to a computer. You can always private message me on the boards too if you need help.

I don't know everything about Ubuntu, but my friend is running an Ubuntu server, and he's helped me a lot also. I have a couple questions for you also:

What is your desktop environment? GNOME?
Are you familiar with command line?
Do you know how to compile?
Do you program any?
What do you think your primary uses will be? Listening to music? Surfing the Internet? etc.
What are your computer specifics? - RAM, HDD, Processor speed, graphics, etc.

This kind of information will help me determine how to help you. :)

Soorbob:
Hey Soorbob! I find Ubuntu (Desktop edition) to be very stable on my crappy (laptop) computer. It runs smoothly and has a decently-fast startup. It can do everything that my old Windows XP could do (except not as much gaming support, but you can always partition your disk or use WINE, etc., not as much support for drivers by the way, but most of them are supported). You should be slightly familiar with command line and how to compile also to be running Ubuntu.

Unlike windows, the chance of running into a virus, malware, or spyware are very thin. You would be running a UNIX operating system, and the task of replication across the operating system (like normal viruses tend to do) would be extremely hard! This is because for many occasions, accessing files, copying files, etc. require you to be 'root' or a super user (access to everything). If you're not root, you don't have permissions to access the file, and therefore the virus cannot replicate itself. Another reason Linux - and other UNIX like operating systems don't get viruses is because corrupting, or changing any critical system files is again, not allowed without root access. Something windows gives its administrator users.

Depending on your specifications, you can have enhanced 3D effects, multiple workspaces, and more!
I found that the switch to Ubuntu was a great decision by me and that I'll stick with UNIX associated operating systems for the rest of my life. :) If you have any more questions - you know who I am on the IRC and you can also Private Message me.

Hope to talk with you later!

I have one computer with Fedora and one with Ubuntu, but I rarely use them because of driver issues with wireless adapters.
but I think they're great when they work.

Me!!! I a major linux guy....I switch distro ever few weeks.

Right now I just toying with Ubuntu 8.04 and Sabayon Linux 3.5 Beta 3.....

I'm in the same boat as alex...
I just installed it tonight.
The only thing im mad about, is that I can't make my wireless work.

Could I please have the name your wireless card (If you don't know, open Terminal and type 'lspci' or 'lspci | grep wireless' - I recommend the latter, and give me the results)? Also, if you're running GNOME go into Applications>Restricted Drivers and tell me what you see there.
You may need Ethernet connection.

By the way, each time your kernel gets updated you will need to go through this laborous task again (just warning you).

I keep getting "Command Not Found"

lspci

Copy that...

Then go in the Terminal and push shift and insert and then puch enter.

Post the output here..

Also a little more info here. Is this a laptop or desktop.

I just told him to to that and he got a command not found. Seems we're going to have to edit some files.

Oh boy, this sounds fun!

Oh boy, this sounds fun!

Maybe not, try this, it's a simple reinstall:

NOTE: You must run these command as root (using sudo or logging in as root with sudo su for that specific shell).
In terminal:
(sudo) apt-get remove pciutils

Then, once it's done, do:
(sudo) apt-get install pciutils

After this, try 'lspci' again.

EDIT: I forgot, apt-get install requires you to be online(otherwise use Ethernet connection for about 2 minutes). Also, you can try to search for pciutils in your package manager, if it shows up (which I doubt), you can stick in the LiveCD which you installed Ubuntu with and it'll install.

im dual booting Windows Xp and Linux Hardy Heron 8.04 Ubuntu

and i have to say, it is so easy to do, if your just curious what linux is like install it using wubi, it takes no effort at all and if you dont like it you just uninstall using wubi

I have a eee pc 900 notgreat i know but if anyone is looking to ssh using linux watch my video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgwiXIa_iPM

This is an ancient thread.

I used to run Ubuntu, but then eff it. I have windows vista and crappy 7 beta.

I'm running Linux, on three different PCs.

Run it on 3 different machines. Two laptops, 1 desktop.

I got Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop. I don't use Ubuntu much, since I now love windows 7 more than any other OS I've ever used. :)

i am! and proud of it!

I'm dual-booting Ubuntu 9.04. Also VMing Linux Mint 7 on Windows 7.

im running on a macbook, OSX.. and in VMWare i'v got GOS, Fedora 8, and working on Fedora 11.... anyone know how to get linux installed? like just the terminal, no "X" no GUI etc... just a text box?

Win 7 right now. Probably gonna dualboot 9.10 when its released.

tri booting osx ubuntu and win 7 :)

Me. I am honestly debating switching to Linux, the only problem is I couldn't use a Zune or an iPod easily.

Er yeh I do use Linux :) I use it for everything and I promise I won't get on my soap box about it today :)

@ joeywolfgram : just don't run X its that simple really, or you could remove it completely if you want. either way will give you CLI only.

tri booting osx ubuntu and win 7 :)

WOW...I'd like to try that out but have no idea on partitioning and what not. :(

Anyway, I used wubi and installed Ubuntu 9.04 inside my Windows Vista HD. I'll probably delete then re-install since I'm getting the free Windows 7 upgrade.

I am running Ubuntu via LiveCD

My laptop has Windows 7 and my desktop has Ubuntu Jaunty. I really like both of them.

Kubuntu 9.04 right here. Waiting for 9.10 Karmic.

Na, I like Windows 7 too much to use any other operating system. :)

i use to dual boot Windows XP and Linux on my dads desktop but i think i am going to get a job to save for a high spec laptop with Windows 7 pre-installed and dual boot that with Linux =P

if i was able to afford i would triple boot

you can have mac os x on a regular pc...!
i have tried to do it but there were problems with some drivers...
search on google!

Kubuntu 9.04 right here. Waiting for 9.10 Karmic.

Dual booting Vista and Ubuntu :)

I was dual booting with Vista and Ubuntu, but earlier today I completely took Vista off because I hated it.
Best decision ever, freed up like 230 much needed gigabytes of disk space. I was down to about 140 megabytes and Ubuntu runs so smoothly now that I have extra space.

Windows 7 is much better. I would give Windows another try. ;)

Ubuntu is great, but it hates my laptop. Something never works right and I'm too lazy to fix it. :(

Yeah, I'll have to give it a shot sooner or later. I don't really feel like forking out the dough right now to buy it, and none of my friends have it yet, so I can't try it now. It looks pretty cool, though.

Ubuntu works amazingly on my Inspiron though. Everything is flawless and required no extra drivers or anything to run. Plus I just like the way it works, and how visually customisable it is. (Thats a major deciding factor for me... lol)

Windows 7 is great. And it's visually customizable also, just not as much as Ubuntu. :D

I am Semi-dual booting Ubuntu and Windows XP.

Semi-dual booting ?

you can have mac os x on a regular pc...!
i have tried to do it but there were problems with some drivers...

I know you can, but it is really unstable.

I want a really stable machine (if only I can afford a Mac), so I am just going to have Windows 7 and dual boot that with Linux (9.10)

just got triple boot os x, windows 7, ubuntu 9.10 working on my macbook

Hackintoshing really isn't unstable at all..........You just have to be careful about when Apple rolls out updates....

Ubuntu 9.10 is fantastic

I am now dual booting windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10.

Hackintoshing really isn't unstable at all..........You just have to be careful about when Apple rolls out updates....

And that's what I don't like about Hackintoshing, I know a lot about but you have to be careful when Apple has an update for us. I will just give it a go anyway though. First, I have to save some money for a high spec laptop though (less then $800), any suggestions?

It isn't high-spec, but the HP DM3Z? That is what I'm going for...


And yes. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04, and Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix. On an HP Mini 1000.

I need an upgrade.
