I still have it on one partition, it will take a week of searching and trying to change things in the files to get my screen resolution working, not to mention I don't understand why its so difficult to get the codex working when they're legal for home use.

I recommend linux to everyone, its the only OS I use, and winblows is only suitable for a game platform, but linux would too if they made good games for it. Its not that it wont play the games its that they deliberately make them hard to play and only with wine for some of them. Of course we have some of them working with wine.

I recommend Pclinuxos, and mepis. I always keep the latest ones of each on hand. If I replace my monitor, I don't to spend long research and countless hours getting my resolution perfect, but one of the two always work. Hardware, monitors, excellent programs, and the drivers for watching videos and dvds, which are critical.

When people recommend ubuntu to those who havnt tried linux they are recommending a nightmare for most people, hard to set up, and not the easiest to use, it takes countless hours.

I always considered ubuntu to be deliberatley made like this to discourage people from choosing linux and its promoted by a very wealthy businessman. This wasnt by accident.

Dude, You need to do one simple thing to get any codecs you could need.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

that's it, in terminal.

and you'll be set.

Ubuntu is the only linux ive ver used..
and it did not take hours to set up, install, or to do anything else.

That is old, useless FUD.

And you say you know linux? but can't use Ubuntu?
Seriously?

Countless hours?
wtf?

not a chance, unless one is totally clueless (which I pretty much was 9 months ago,)
but even i had no issues at all!

If you simply read a little about what you should do first,
and are able to comprehend it,
there should be no issues at all.

Nightmare?
what the hell?

all my years of running and setting up windows machines was a nightmare,

Me, being a complete linux noob,
upon first getting the Ubuntu CD in the mail,
had Ubuntu running perfectly, within an hour, at most. .. was no nightmare. lol

Stop spreading FUD homie.

Also,
My parents, their friends, and the children related to them have been using Ubuntu for some months now,
I set them all up with it,
and they love it! haha,
Dont know what your prob. is.

But they have no problems, at all.
Quite a few of them elderly folks.

Anyone reading, pay no mind to this dudes post here,
it is far from the truth. lol

Ive never used an easier OS in my life.
nor have i ever seen one so easy to set up. lol
