Ubuntu 7.10 :D

All other distros gave me one hell time for Hardware issues.

Finally I saw Compiz on my Comp :D It roxxxx.

Now Just waiting for my Broadband to come then the Codecs for multimedia will be installed. After that XP boot will be strictly for gaming :cool:

Also if you are 64 bit I can mail you most of my debs I cant host it cause if I do the same from an internet cafe I think I might upload a virus along with it :D . I cant do the same on my internet connection cause I only have a rs 250 connection with 1GB of bandwidth. However I can write it on a cd and mail it to you !

Thanks a ton bro ^^

Sound quality / volume is even better than Windows. I have a good collection of MP3, DVD Movies, AVI and all. For all the things Codecs are available so thats no issue.

ps: I am missing K Media Player. It was my fav from Debian Times. Can someone tell me repo to add where I can find it with all its Codecs?

Ps: I installed the one Which Came with Digit DVD. Which is 32 Bit I think**

Btw: That Link rocks. I will do that after office hours :D

if you have internet access then: click on this: ubuntu-restricted-extras
wait for about 3-4 sec after clicking.In both cases you will get a box, asking YES or NO:)

this packages(softwares) requires to add extra repositories(repo in short)
its is a one time procedure & do this if you haven't already done so;)
*ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#How_to_add_extra_repositories


now you are done with config part:)

The Link is provided in above post. The one with Offline Multimedia thing. Open it and follow the instructions. They are pretty simple to do :)

Ubunutu Restricted Driver will install the Driver for your gfx Card [ATi / nVidia]and 3D will be enabled.

Incase you are using Asus Motherboard dont forget to disbale ACPI and Other Advanced Poer management options. They sometimes cause weird probs in Linux if enabled.

Other than that everything will run brisk :D

Good luck
