Another BETTER Ultimate on the block!

there is vista ultimate: costs a load of money

and there is ubuntu ultimate 1.4
http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=4323

this version rocks! I downloaded the virtual appliance for vmware and gave
it a spin...

The thought is.. if you are going to run in 1000's problems with vista, why
not take the plunge and use ubuntu instead?...

IF vista was better I would never be saying this.. but vista is a flop of
historical proportions!!! Its horrible!

from a site: Ubuntu Ultimate 1.4 has been released and has a new thing in
store for you. Unlike any linux ever released this allows you to "build your
os" from a CD. Like linux you will love this... Windows users will think
twice... Compiz Fusion integrated.

I am now thinking about installing it on a hard drive as a non virtual
machine so I can see all the
3d desktop effects...

Get lost. No one using Windows Vista wants an
Open Sores operating system with no support that
takes weeks to properly install. It would be like
going back to Windows 3.1!

It takes under and hour to install Ubuntu with all the updates and
programs. The fact that the only way YOU know how to install an OS is to
buy it preinstalled, doesn't mean everyone is computer illiterate.

Oh please. I can do a complete clean Ubuntu install in roughly 2-3 hours
and that includes every single piece of software, my C/C++ Development
environment, nVidia Drivers and assorted video codecs and DVD CSS support
and everything updated to the latest and greatest.

You're beyond exaggerating.

If you wish, I can post all the links to your
previous posts a few months ago where
you yourself were asking a lot of questions
about installing Linux and expressed some of the difficulties
you encountered. Updates? There are now well over
200 updates for Linux distros after the initial install.

I don't think a rational person is going to chuck
Windows Vista (which they already paid for)
and install an alternative operating system that
may not be compatible with Windows-based
applications they already have.

P.S. I assemble my own computers. However, I did purchase
recently a nice HP Pavilion (refurb) because many folks
also purchase HP PCs and visit the Vista newsgroups
asking questions regarding HP products. Also, it was quite
cost effective compared to purchasing the same components
individually.

Can anyone today assemble a new PC with a modern ASUS MB,
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ CPU, 1GB RAM,
250GB Seagate SATA II HD designed w/Perpendicular Recording,
DVD writer w/Light Scribe, 9 in 1 memory reader, sleek new
case, power supply, keyboard, mouse, Roxio DVD writing software
and a full OEM version of Windows Vista Premium, for $369.00?

Compared to the P4 3.0GHz computer I assembled your years ago
and upgraded considerably for a total of $850, this new
HP performs exceptionally faster and is virtually silent while
in operation.

I have now installed a second SATA II hard drive and dual-boot with
Windows Vista Ultimate. I also installed another 1GB RAM
and a dedicated ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO 512MB video card.
This HP Pavilion has had absolutely zero issues with Windows
Vista and I have now stopped using my old PC w/Windows XP.

It may take under an hour to install that TOY OS called Ubuntu, but it will
get you nowhere unless you are a Geek like Alias

Yep, about the same amount of time for Linux and Windows alike, counting
updates and applications. The difference is that with Windows you're
more likely to be able to work with businesses than with Linux.

At first, I had questions as it was a new OS and those questions were
answered and I no longer have them.

It took me less than an hour to install the last time I did it,
including all the updates and programs. Installing XP on the same
computer took a couple of days.

I don't think a rational person would install Vista and have to
continually prove to Redmond that they didn't steal it.

Glad you're happy with HP. The only cheap computers I see here have
Vista Basic on them and, er, no thanks.

The old, worn out and tired "you need to be a geek to run Linux" is
soooo nineties. Ubuntu is ready for prime time and the peer-to-peer
support is much better than what the likes of you and Frank offer.
