Re: %::::: Open Source :::::%
Googled it? For what? Ubuntu will auto start it after install to help you get the restricted drivers installed from the CD.
I can assure you it will work fine. Gutsy RC had issues with your graphic chipset on boot (Live) but that has been corrected in the final. The final will detect your resolution properly on Live as well, its a real good release.
And as for now, ATi drivers in Ubuntu repositories/CD have only the *7* version and not the recent *8*. But its available in the backports which means an Update is on its way soon. If you're still in hurry of getting the latest, use Envy and it'll make installing ATi's official drivers (Downloaded from AMD's site) a piece of cake.
You can look at Envy script here:

avikchaks said:I googled "restricted-drivers-manager" , but still am in doubt .
Will the Ubuntu CD contain the latest ATI drivers or is there any Ubuntu maintained database from which we get ATI drivers.
Also how to find out if Ubuntu will work with my ATI x1250 onboard grfx

My choice is Debian till their community survives.excellent packages,very much stable,but not so n00b friendly.I use Debian Sid apt-pinned with Lenny(testing) and experimental repos.I uses debian daily build sid minimal cd to start install.installed in two peoples system with Debian lenny.Sid means daily 40-80+MBs of download .for 3-4 months i tried experimental,to use experimental u must be ready to try packages and few of them are sure-buggy and hence report in bugzilla and also u may need to know some coding and other concepts.so,i returned back to Sid(unstable repo,but STABLE!) using few experimental packages
*www.debian.org
Also I dual boot with Ubuntu(which i hardly use.but sometime boots) feisty/today or tomorrow i'll be installing gutsy dvd for x86 which i downloaded along with amd64-bit version for @Din.I used torrents and really fast!4hrs+or- 5min.for 4.2GB! .

Re: %::::: Open Source :::::%
I have Beryl it was installed by default . I have even updated beryl to 0.3.0 version, and the heart shaped icon shows up on the taskbar
but the problem Im facing is with Emerald themer .. I mean I click/double click on the themes and nothing happens , it just doesnt load the themes . How do I load the themes ?
Any chances these problems might be eliminated if I shift to GG ?
