Guys recently i have downloaded and installed Ubutu, its awesome, all programs are pre installed, even instant chat messenger( all yahoo, gtalk, and other services are bundled in one) ,firefox, video and audio player, and even more. I am very excited to have this beautiful OS on my system. The most important thing is that Linux is virus proof, i am happy that i am far far way from virus, torjan and other worms.

sorry any LINUX OS is not virus proof ok , cause its a open source so u do manually thats all and ubuntu has no ROOT password that means u cannot access the main files or EDIT it if u get any problem u r going to install it again ------->MOST OF ALL UBUNTU 7/8 ANYTHING IS SMALL PACKAGE LINUX CONTENTS WHICH DO NOT DO ALL LINUX SECURITIES AND WORK SO VIRUS IS GARUNTEED OK ... Y I AM SAYING IS I have completed "RED HAT CERTIFIED ENGINEER"

NOW IAM DOING "RED HAT CERTIFIED SEQURITY SPECIALIST" I AM LINUX FAN IF U HAVE ANY DOUBT ON IT U CAN MAIL ME TO THIS [email removed for obvious reasons]

Well, ubuntu is pretty safe. I've have no complaints regarding security ever since I've been using it

Offcourse.
Ubuntu(Linux) can do everything which Windows can do.

You can use Brasero for burning cd's. There are other alternatives too like K3B(simply superb), Nero Linux(Linux version of nero).

Guys, now chill please! He said what he said, don't go around mocking him. We had our times too, so it's all just in the learning curve, although honestly I didn't understand why he brought the RHCE angle into it but let it rest now.

To the OP, great you have found something you like in Ubuntu. All the best.

well...i use Ubuntu :p Some times Arch Linux too

There is no OS great...its just what suits you best is what you use. I like freedom so I use linux. The feeling of control over every in and out. You are not restricted that whats cool about it.

Yup I was kinda krazzy about antiviruses, antispywares and every kinds of other anti*wares and firewalls. It was a lovely experience, thanks to slow downs after few months and then reinstall opportunity. Added the bonus BSODs too :D Oh I dont remember if i ever read EULAs. Sometimes a few hiccups in registry and you get another opportunity to pop in cd for refreshement. But then there are gazillions of third party softwares to fix these things only :) Nostalgia

Good luck with fully utilizing your SLI setup, or Modern laptop, even wireless adapter, fingerprint reader, card reader, webcam, and what not. So yeah when I pay for something, I should be able to use it. Coz thats my 'freedom'.

lemme tell you my facts, ok this sound card of mine for which i searched for days till i got driver for it and that too a really old one(tricky to get it work right) got detected in linux without any drivers searching and works like charm.

Probably you arent aware that hardware supported by linux is far more than windows...lolz

probably you should look out for the ones that provide some linux friendliness. My 965 bios and sata controller has issues but still I was able to install debian without cd...lolz

Probably you should buy old stuffs... lol Since linux only supports old hardwares without any driver issues.

Oct 18, 2008 at 10:38 AM
since when 965 is an old hardware. Yes there was this one sound card from 2002 but then its not older than disney.

Its not about old things but old code practices that devs use. But then you are gifted one so spend to your heart :p Or shell in more bucks to made their mood to roll out linux drivers too :D at the same time

Whats the point? If my purpose were to listen music, watch movie and browse net then I'd use Linux which I used to. But when you spend good amount of money for latest hardware for gaming n stuffs or use generic system for Office work, then there is no way you can survive with linux. That pretty much sums it up. :p

Just so you know if theres anyone with intermediate to thorough knowledge of Linux Windows and Mac's Amitava is one of them. And if you didn't notice what he said is pretty much true. I'd like to see a SLI setup working out of the box rather than having to edit or tweak any of the existing settings tog et it to work.
