You can't install it on a PC. It is a disgrace to linux.
Use Windows Vista. Its better and you CAN secure your system.
It just works.

Well now, that settles that. We can all sleep better tonight. I was going
to install Ubuntu on my PC, but since you said it doesn't work, I guess I
will forget it.

People have different needs and different taste, if it works for you - fine
by me. Just don't try to preach it on me or shove it down my throat. Each OS
that exist have their strongest merits, we need to realize this move away
from partisan break down that occurs everytime there is a thread titled
Vista vs. Linux. Its so 2001.

Wish I could read japanese. I can see that from here.
My official Vista has support for the Asian and japanese fonts. XP could
too, but it was not the same as
Vista.

I downloaded the Ubuntu disk from the site Alias mentioned, burned it, and
rebooted. I was going to installed, but it changed my screen in Vista, and I
could get past the first screen where you enter your time zone.
I can set up mandrake linux with no problems. When I bought the Dell, I made
it to be Vista compatible.
I have good luck with it. Athlon 64 dual processer, Nvidia chip for
graphics. I recieved a Hauppauge HVR 1600 for Christmas. I use it to watch
and record TV program. It can get HDTV. Just need an antenna. Can't do that
with Linux.
Bobby

what does your post have to do with vista?
I am running vista, xp and ubuntu on this pc with no problems..

slowest of all is vista hands down

Haha, yea reading Japanese isn't all that easy. I'm at the point where I
can hold a relatively simple conversation without too much trouble and
handle more complex conversations / topics in writing when exchanging e-
mails with friends in Japan. Though, reading still remains my primary
challenge as I still have lots of Kanji left to learn! =)

It is a lot of fun though, I do enjoy it. And, a very excellent way to
keep the sponge between the ears from collecting dust.

I'm a little confused about you saying it changed your screen in vista.
If you're going to install Ubuntu as a dual boot, you'd need to boot your
computer with the disk. Vista would not be running, so how would it
change a screen in Vista?

While I can't comment on the new Blueray or HD DVD disks, I don't even
own media on either or even hardware to play it with to begin with so I
have no experience there, recording TV programs under Linux is absolutely
possible.

Look up MythTV.

Matter of fact, for me, Vista is completely useless when it comes to
Multimedia. The reason is quite simply because I own DVDs from different
regions in the world and the software I used under XP to allow my
computer to play DVDs region-free is not supported under Vista. I suspect
that due to Vista's DRM technologies it will never be.

Again you are being a total putz and IDIOT. You know nothing about Vista or
any other OS. You are just a total moron.
