I have started linux with "Slitaz" a very light 24MB ISO Live CD in 2008. Initially struggled a lot to understand the things due to the impact of windows. After that I have tried many live cds and installed Open Solaris which I could not understand and removed from my system. After few months I liked PCLinixOS started duel booting with XP. Unfortunately the HDD was damaged may be due to the firmware issue in some seagate models. I have installed Ubuntu Studio 9.04 later and never succeeded to shut down the system properly due to the system hanging issues. Then I tried 64Studio 3.0 beta and it also started hanging frequently. Now I am switched to Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty few days back and I am very happy with this. Very stable OS. No hangups and very fast and feature oriented OS. Installed all applications and codecs available in Ubuntu Studio and I am enjoying this OS now. But still there are no proper alternatives available in linux for some windows applications like video converters for example.

any linux other than windows which can be had inside windows without booting and smaller

ramachandra · 07-14-09, 01:52 AM

Oh Thank you. But there is a complaint that it is not working with Ubuntu-Gnome-Compiz combination the same I am using now. Anyway let me try this. Thanks again....

Luke Skywalker · 07-14-09, 02:36 AM

To use compiz fully you have to install simple-ccsm package(CompizConfig Setting Manager).Also ubuntu 9.04 has a kernel(some have said it blacklisted) suffering serious performance regression( booting in 1.5 seconds is no measur of performance) & if you are using intel driver you would have to tweak it.I use FreeBSD,ubuntu & will install lfs linux from scratch) when it will be available for x86_64 currently clfs is available in 64 bit.Also according to me every real linux geek have once in a life use & understand the Gentoo (many mistakenly say its dead but its a top 8 distro).Ubuntu is useful for people who prefer mac & windows.Also you can use wine (if you have enough knowledge you can run most major windows programs) ,crossoverlinux ,crossoverlinuxgames & cedega to run games etc.

Sorry! I am not a video enthusiast so I didn't used this software.

i use ubuntu i have no problem for all the basic tasks but for simple task like checking for drivers and installing some specific software i eats my brains out and i have to google every 2 minutes audio quality is mediocre without drivers and installation by packages are **** the computer does not know whether it is an archive or a package and the package manager does nt know where the package is even though u opened the manager by clicking on the package and to find out new software that works with my 64 bit installtion i had to gop through hell and back i cannot even use youtube becuse flash cannot be installed into my system when i tried to install it said that i had a 32 bit version of flash it was page that ubuntu led me too in the first place lack of support and the lack of ease in access is the reason why i can never dumpvista for ubuntu eventhough it does not have viruses and have u people noticed when u run linux u get a higher temp reading eventhough u do not use head inducing tasks like dvd burning and also gaming just standby burns it up

Luke Skywalker · 07-14-09, 08:54 PM

You should not have install 64 bit version even if you have enough technical knowhow & winXP64 was also criticised.As for your claim , to test I just burned & watched a vid & have 9 tabs open in firefox, results only 5 percent CPU consumped & 44% memory consumption.To use softwares other than from ubuntu & canonical you have to add repositories.

You might have read the solution to this in the comment page. You have to use the gtk version instead of the link (Qt version) given by me.

Just simple suggestion, try Mandriva 2009.1 x86 64 all the above problems will be solved. Infact flash 10 is released for 64 bit *nix first not for windows, I don't understand how you are googling!!! I am using flash in my 64 bit Mandriva since Dec 2008

It is lack of knowledge in fact, I use mandriva for adding repositories there is easyupri, just a web site from here you can manage repositories this site will auto detect your current version. Like that there might be siple ways of doing that in Ubuntu, if you mention the same it will be helpful for him.

ramachandra · 07-16-09, 01:38 AM

BSD is not Linux & is much older than Linux. I myself use freebsd.

By the way no gentoo fan out here? It is turning ten.

I crashed my Ubuntu. Now using F11.x86_64,gentoo x86_64 & will reinstall Freebsd(it also crashed).

I am using Ubuntu 9.04 and it's great to use. It's so user friendly for anyone with basic computer knowledge can use it. With an internet connection it's
