[steve5451]

I've had experience with Ubuntu before, so I guess I'll just stick with that.

Ubuntu still has Gnome, you have to log out and log back in with Gnome selected. c:
And what should I use? Arch Linux or Ubuntu? I'm about to begin installing one of them.

OpenSUSE its Stable and sponsored by AMD =3

Slicksilver555's fix only fixes the master server posting issue while hosting a dedicated server, there are still many other bugs with hosting a dedicated server.

Bump.

So I got Wine.
And Ubuntu 10.04 (old download) and after getting Wine, steam, and another application to work on Wine, I have decided to install it once and for all, alongside XP lest I need to go back. But I don't want to lose XP even if it means I can't install Ubuntu, so I freak when I see this.

Can someone explain this?

I don't want to advance the installation. The create new table button looks good, but it says it creates a new partion above all partitions or something of that nature, which leads me to believe its gonna wipe everything.

just get the new one and chose install alongside windows.

Get 11.04 and choose to install alongside Windows, or go back to Windows and use the Wubi installer also available on their website,

Wubi installer didn't work the last time I tried it.
I would prefer Netbook Edition which is only available in 10.04 LTS.

If I remember right, the only major difference was the Unity shell being used instead of GNOME 2 for the 10.04 Netbook edition.
11.04 uses Unity by default.

But anyways, try shrinking your Windows partition in Windows, and then install Ubuntu to the unformatted space.

Bump because i love this OS.

I just installed this two days ago and already i'm using this more than windows.

So am I.

Anyone have any tips on "iOS-ifying" GNOME 2?

[Lugnut]

Downloaded 11.04 or whatever version it is...
Now I have it on a CD to install on one of the computers.
Problem? The computer is a piece of stuff and only has 30gb of disk space total.
:/
The other computer, (the one I had a problem with originally,) is still stuck on the same page.

I loving hate partitions, can someone walk me through this?
edit 1,Is there a way to make a usb hard drive appear as a normal hard drive in the BIOS? I have a 160gb one laying around, I could use it.
Edit 2, is there a way to get that lovey sidebar? It automatically showed up in the netbook version, but the desktop looks like stuff.

Just install your video card drivers.
