I noticed my Windows 7 OS was getting slower...and sslloowwer everyday. So, I decided to test out the latest Ubuntu OS. I have used Ubuntu in the past on an old thinkpad. I must say, this OS is pretty nice. Very fast. I think I will be keeping this one for awhile...plus its free! :thumbup: More money for my van!

Conical has very good support for Ubuntu. In spite of some of its limitations, it just works right out of the box and I think that the average user can pick it up very quickly.

Yeah I agree! I'm surprised that more people haven't installed this OS. Why pay so much for Windows when you can get Ubuntu for free! I like how they have a little app store, makes it much easier to find software. PLUS, its almost impossible to get a virus compared to Windows.

I like Ubuntu, but on the three different computers I have used it on, the wireless drivers are a PITA, so I keep putting off getting it on this one, because the internet is pretty much all I use.

Yeah, it worked out of the box for me. :shrug:

Hey guys.. for the sake of discussion here, it's not necessary to quote every post you are replying to. It just makes it a big headache for anyone who has to read it.

It's even harder to read on a smart phone or a tablet because it's harder to see the shading.. making you think that you are reading the same post over and over again.

The only time you really need to quote a post is if you are replying to something 3 to 4 posts back or if you are commenting on something specific within a post. But please do not quote the previous post if you are replying to it.

Sorry, forgot about that.

I tried 12.04. Had major problems keeping connected to the internet and sound wouldn't work. Went back to PCLOS and have no problems with it.

Still use windows 7 for a majority of things though. Especially since sketchup isnt on linux yet
