Im running Ubuntu Linux Fiesty Fawn 7.04 on Microsoft’s Virtual PC console.
I have a problem when i try to apply the
‘Desktop Effects’ i enable them and then poof my screen turns white i cannot see absolutely anything! After that Ubuntu automatically turns this feature off (about 5 sec)
This is the most important reason in why i was trying out Linux to make it my primary OS because of the work effeciency that you get for example using the cube effect.
THE LAST PROBLEM is:
I find that Linux runs pretty slow! i allocate 512 mb of ram to Microsoft Virtual PC and i notice that Windows XP and Ubuntu are not even close in speed!
Please note that:

Windows XP and Fiesty Fawn are running side by side and Linux is a lot slower than XP!!!!
My Computer Specs are:
Intel Pentium 4 3.20 ghz
1 GB DDR Ram
200 GB SATA internal Hard drive
250 GB Seagate external Hard drive

3. I chose the enter key
4. Then it says loading vmlinuz…………
Loading initrd.img………………………
Then it detects all hardware and harddisk….(All the harddisk and the dvd drive is detected.)
5. Then it continues to the last stage saying
loading /sbin/install
running installer
loading /sbin/loader
after that the screen turns black the system stops responding…… There is no harddisk activity nor cd activity in the system.

So, can you help me with this ?

I have been curious about linux for a while and would love to try it. However I’d like a chance to use it and see how I get on with it before getting rid of windows xp. How do I set up linux so that I can test it out safely with out causing problems for my windows os?

My desktop computer has windows XP installed. I have been thinking about wiping it and starting from scratch with a Linux operating system. Is this difficult to do? How much will it cost? What about drivers for my hardware?

How do I install Windows XP on a machine already running on Linux OS? I want to have both installed and be able to select which one to run when the computer boots. Is it possible to perform a partial partition so I can install XP?

Hi.
Im buying a new computer and i intend to get Ubuntu Linux on it. However, the rest of the computers in my house run on Microsoft Windows XP and Vista. Is it possible to have my ubuntu desktop on the same network as my "home" network (which has the windows comps)? In other words, will i be able to access files (wirelessly) on the windows computers and will the windows computers be able to access files on my computer? Thanks a million!

I want to install Mandriva linux as a fresh copy or upgrade, i dont want to have to use the cd every time i turn on the computer i want it to be there when i turn it on and want it as my only operating system (OS) FOR EVER!

I have the files and everything is just that i dont know how to create the cd, well i created one by burning the iso file but that did not install mandriva on the Hard Drive Disk (HDD)

If you know any good tutorial on how to install Mandriva, plis write the link down there or if you know how to explain it very well or have some how ideas of how to do it plis write them down

Right now i’m using a Windows XP OS. if i boot from a Live CD version of Linux (let’s say.. ubuntu) and i get a file infected with a trojan, will the trojan still harm my Windows Operating System while i’m using a Live CD version of Linux?

I’ve a 64 bit Acer laptop, what would be a good alternative to Windows XP, and where can I find it?

I’m fairly certain that debian is the distro I need but I would like to check to see if:
a) It’s a desktop distro
b)It’s a major desktop distro
c) has good support
d) will work with windows xp & 7

Thanks in Advance!!
Also what would be the difference between the technical specifications and the system requiremets of an OS.
