“Karmic Koala”, or the newest release of Ubuntu, is, well, the newest release of Ubuntu. It has some graphical upgrades and a faster boot time. The Add/Remove Programs had a small makeover.

@thedippytheory He uses WIndows 7 :/
@fdemey I installed every thing seems to be working fine (driver wise). ALTHOUGH, if you’re video card is an ATI, you might experience issues. Screen freezing, not loading up, etc. Happened to me.
@Vektr1 same question. Someone should be able to anwser.
@sreeju050 He’s not trying to use a virtual machine, his computer’s screwed up because of Vista and he’s thinking of switching completely to Linux.
vai toma no cu essas porra de videos em Ingles é uma merda pelo menos poe uma tradução para Portugues
well may be true m8. but ive been on ubuntu for some time now. and im testing it for my likings. so far sa i told u before. love the idea… but it still needs some work. atm im still trying it but i allso have win 7 (bought) and so far ive not seen 1 bug and they rly did a good job on win 7. i now like it better than XP
@enterZ Well thats the problem, games are made by paid companys mostly (as in paid i mean like activision etc) but the more ppl who adopt linux theyll notice and start releasing games on tht platform or alt until tht time u cud use game consoles :/ but tbh everything else (well mostly) i prefer on linux thn windows. meh
does not. tried it today and my games dropped 10-20fps. so no. sux. love the idea but game suport it needs better.
@enterZ he ought to put windows 7 in a vbox
@enterZ IT DOES!!
haha sure it does… not
i use wubi to install ubuntu so now i can dual boot ubuntu, and vista
I have a dell with XP installed on it. I want to dual boot install ubuntu on it. I’m worried if the software drivers will be compatible (sound, video, etc.) Anyone know?
Dude put ubu as ur primary OS it kicks win7’s butt
Erm, if you format your harddrive and use ubuntu as your primary OS then say goodbye to vista, if you put it in virtual box then it just runs in its own window as a windows program. If you want ubu running on ur pc as an OS like vista you can partition the HDD but u sound like a noob so i wouldnt suggest it
then what is the use of using a virtual machine
Yes, you can download ubuntu to a flash drive, or a CD (google how to install ubuntu on either) boot from it and poof bi pass windows.
Also Linux does not get viruses, it is more secure to began with
Yes, there is a way. You will need to use someone else’s computer to download Ubuntu, and burn it to the disc using that computer. Place the disk in your drive, restart, and make sure that the CD Drive is the first boot priority. This is default on most computers, so don’t worry. Then just install… You can even get rid of Vista completely if you want to. This is a little advanced, so you might want to do your homework and get a little help. Hope I helped.
@thethewiLLbuR no it doset remowe vista
yeeah this is good shit maan
If i install this program will it erase my vista programs and so forth? do you need antivirus?
Yes Ubuntu 9.10 is great just installed it on Vmware and its working pretty good
I currently have Vista, but when I try to log on to any of my accounts (including the administrator) I get the message “The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.” Safe mode doesn’t work. System Restore doesn’t work. I want to try Ubuntu. Is there a way to install it without logging on to a profile? If not, I’m screwed.
what kind of laptop are you using? Whats the ram size?
