I gave up on it, i think ATI doesn't make drivers for my card and ubuntu so that was the major malfunction.
Wow... seeing this topic really blew me away. Just yesterday, I requested a copy of Ubuntu after researching "Dual booting Windows XP and Ubuntu." I am doing this in preparation for the day when Microsoft discontinues support for XP.From the research I've done online, and the people I've talked to, I will go kicking and screaming into upgrading to Vista (even though I have a Vista ready PC, with am Athlon 64 processor.)So I have my copy of Ubuntu coming, and will be familiarizing myself with it and the programs associated with it in the meantime, and only doing the things I absolutely must on Vista *spits*
You can download the distros and burn the iso's for free. Jaunty Jackalope is coming out mid next year as well. Read up on Wine, you can use it to run alot of windows based programs.
What makes you think MS is going to stop supporting XP.?
I use Vista Premium and IE8 and everything is running smooth as silk.
No, I don't think they said that but I'll double check. I do know that they are going to stop all the support for systems that pre-date XP. It can't go on forever.
