Hi LJ people...
Still alive, just have been very busy the last few months. Things are luckily a little calmer now.
In my downtime, I have configured the.....er wait. I'm getting ahead of myself
Since my last post I've gotten a new PC (arrived on election day, hence the name).
Obamatron 3000 Specs:
*Dell Studio glossy black tower/dust collector
*Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600
*4GB DDR2 SDRAM
*500GB NCQ SATA Hard Drive (7200 RPM) w/ 16MB DataBurst Cache
*320GB SATA (transplanted from ol' pc)
*^^ 500GB Seagate External USB Drive.
*ATI Radeon HD 3650 256MB (i know, I know... It's all they had in the config)
*X-fi extreme gamer (transplanted from ol' PC)
*DVDR drive & dvd drive
*16 in 1 media reader thingy
*Winblows Vista x86 Home Premium
*Samsung SyncMaster 2433BW 24" LCD (Thanks dad!)
Anywho... I got adventurous the other day and installed Ubuntu 8.10 (don't freak out, I still have Vista) ------- I have configured it to dual boot either Vista or Intrepid.
Ubuntu really kicks ass, as far as I'm concerned. Just having a small bit of audio problems which I will soon iron out I'm sure.
And for those too scared to manually configure Ubuntu/Dual Booting --- there is a one click solution -- WUBI!!
You simply install it (Wubi/Ubuntu) like any other windows program... If you don't like it, you just go to programs/etc and uninstall like any other program. And it configures the dual/multi booting for you. And most importantly it quarantines all of the Ubuntu stuff on the hard-drive to keep it from messing with your windows stuff...
Going to play now.. Ta Ta.........
