” VIRUS ”
SO
linux family are the best ( fedora – mint – kubuntu – ubuntu – red hate .. etc )
ubuntu for the most kind of users
programmers – artists ( Maya – blender … etc )
gamers ( do u belief XP on ubuntu is safe and more beautiful than the stupid original one
AND REMEMBER
Linux is from people to people its gives Choices and have no limits .. just have Patience to learn it

can someone help me with ubuntu, i have a video showing the problem can you pleas help me?
I 2nd that – you can always find a way to do games. Unfortunately I’m still in dual-boot mode because I also use my laptop for DJ gigs, so unless someone knows a sure fire way of using Virtual DJ, Hercules DJ Console RMX controller and ASIO4ALL drivers without any latency and full blown sync between Virtual DJ and iTunes…yeah – haven’t solved that workaround yet! Mixx just doesn’t cut it for me
Have you got a ’sis mirage 3′ graphics card? I don’t think its compatable.
Its oo-boo-ntoo.
can you use normal programmes such as after effects. msn messenger and all them . or do they only work if the producer of the programme makes an ubuntu compatable version?
im new to this… thanks
I will try to answer some of these as i been using ubuntu since version 6.04. I also been using redhat and the new distro from them fedora core. Well not that new, but anyways.
You can use some normal progams like limewire yahoo messenger, adobe reader etc. But do know that this is open source so it is best to use open source apps like open office instead of microsoft office. And best of all, open source apps are free.
There is software called wine (free version) and cedega (paid for version) that is a library of the windows api and used to install windows based apps. Now, not all games/apps will work under wine/cedega. I can tell you for sure that world of warcarft works perfectly for me. Remember every pc is different so it may not be so perfect for you.
Also don’t forget that linux has their own games like alien arena, sebastian (spelling?), nexius, etc.
Basically Synaptic Package manager is an updated list of currently available packages (programs) that you can search through. Trust me there are more then you can shake a stick at. Check out the ubuntu forums to get a general idea of what you are looking for, or even synaptic will give you a small description about that package.
The best thing to learning linux is actually playing around with it will looking up info on the offical ubuntu forums site. Without playing with linux you will never get to understand how great linux (ubuntu in this case) is. But if I am around, and i see people with comments I will try to help.
I wasn’t clear with some things. Synaptic is not only a search app tool, but think of it as a very advanced add or remove programs tool. Not only doest it give you a list of every official program, but you can even add links to it to add more programs. For instance. I use xbmc as my media center of choice. You will need to add this link to synaptic and then you will be able to download and install it.
looks good
you’re on a mac
@scotv453 Open source applications are always free (libera), but do not have to be free (senkosta). They are always free as in freedom, but not free as in free beer. Aurdor 2 for Mac OS X is not free of cost, you have to donate at least one dollar to acquire it.
Not being rude, but as a seasoned linux user….uh, I already knew that. My conversation was based to new users. So the MAJORITY of the open source are free for purchase .
Thanks for the open source definition though, but 9/10 times, if an app costs there will be another that can do almost, or more of, the same thing for free of cost..
this looks cool but a bit old fashioned
i got 9.10
you can improve it. believe me
its cool i had windows vista before but ubuntu its better …..
you sound exactly like my dentist D:
or you can dual boot windows and linux with Wubi Installer. Google it.
