seriously dude, ubuntu is lighter than fedora. if you want a super fast ubuntu, you'll be needing the xubuntu since it uses lightweight xfce desktop.
btw, SELinux really works lol. just "tried" it last nightDamn, son! Where'd you find this?

no need to re-install ubuntu itself to use the xfce desktop. you can just type in the console: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop. that'll auto download and install xfce to your current ubuntu version.
when the installation is done, you need to logout (not reboot) then select xfce in the session option in the login screen.

VirtualBox works well for letting users "boot" into windows and other OS'es WITHOUT rebooting. I have assigned 768MB for my WinXP virtual machine under Ubuntu and it works quite well!
No need to dual-boot which just takes an unnecessarily long time...
just do "sudo apt-get install virtualbox", open it, and create a virtual machine and install your OS in it!
Ang galing! No need to do hocus-pocus like that Wine approach to installing Office 2007/2003.
I would think Ubuntu 8.10 will work well for most people. I think I'm only having problems because of drivers specific to my Thinkpad's hardware. :sad:
But I can't stop using Ubuntu...i haven't booted into my Vista partition in more than a week now... I think.

bah didnt know this thread exists
using ubuntu for quite a month na yata. i was intrigued by what safe is always talking about sa SB. of course at first it was soooo confusing. installing software is different from windows. and i have to study how to install software from source code. so far so good. i used emerald theme manager but noticed it slowed down my system. so i reverted back to metacity --replace.
got surprised too sa unang start. kasi in winblows i have to install gigabit ethernet controller so i can have internet. but in ubuntu i got install internet access. plus instant sound! and instant printer! i have no need to install drivers for those. what is not working is my webcam. and sound sometimes turns off. but ive got a fix: under sound settings, put all to alsa then back to OSS (for sigmatel ac97) and i also found some programs in ubuntu 8.10 somewhat buggythis is the drawback from ubuntu so far. but it was good even if programs are buggy. ang iba lang naman. and there are many free programs din! galing talaga ng ubuntu. at galing pa ng effects my cousin was so fascinated with it
anybody here had used beryl?
