--- Quote from: Aloone_Jonez ---I am aware of this, however someone who is migrating away from Windows is most likely to require an easy to use desktop like KDE or GNOME and I certainly wouldn't recommend using them with any less than 128MB, Xfce maybe but it still ins't as easy as KDE or GNOME.

XFCE isn't as easy as KDE or GNOME?

I disagree, I think XFCE is MUCH easier than KDE AND GNOME. :thumbdwn:

Aloone_Jonez:
That's a matter of opinion I suppose but it doesn't have as many features as KDE or GNOME like buit in zip support, mouse over file view or point and click configureation utilities.

The last one is wrong, it does have a VERY easy configuration utility. :p

Kintaro:
Why the hell do you want Ubuntu you poor soul, get slackware or Debian. Get anything as long as it isn't Ubuntu, Linspire, or Mandriva.


--- Quote from: Firefoxfanphill ---Ok, so basically I made a deal with my dad, If i keep my average in Algebra to 80+ I can do a dual boot with linux! HURRAY!

Anyway, in other words.

I'm thinking of getting Ubuntu with fluxbox as an X window manager.
Any comments on this?
[If yes, get me something with tabs]
Furthermore a partion/dual boot guide [and software] would be helpful.

Any recomended info for getting some funky ubuntu setup would be nice as well!

Also, I'm just ganna use linux as an IM [Gaim]/GIMP/server testing ground.

I'm reading up on SuSe and it looks very nice, just need to find a dvd rw and I'll try it :-P.

Also, heres some specs, 160gb harddrive, 512MB DDR SDRAM, 2800+ AMD Athlon XP processor and a NVIDIA Geforce4 MX Graphics card, all seemed to work in Ubuntu except moniter, which I new how to fix, and may not know how to fix in SuSe :-P

Oh yeah, another thing is, I'm thinking about completatly wiping me computer, and than haveing Windows on one partion, Linux on another and all other files/folders on a third partion, any comments bout this?

Haha, I sound like such a newb.

Except for the file manager, which sucks.
