<div class="IPBDescription">lol</div> 20 of them here. I'm gonna begin passing them out, as more of a way to help out folks to Linux. It'll also be my first foray. Heres to hoping!
You must mail me one to prove that. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Yea, I was thinking of that the other day. I ordered 15 or so CD's and was wondering when they'd come. Some time soon I assume.

Yeh mine arrived last week, finaly got a PC organised to install it tho (took me till sunday). It looks interesting but i wont have time to have a proper look till next week.
Linux is cool, but the one thing I get tired of is that almost all Linux distro's are construction kits, instead of a Windows like "Next Next Next" installation.
But that might have to do with my lil' bro installing different OS'es like a madman, and thus screwing my precious gaming bandwith with the constant updating of distro packets.
Yeah, be prepared for mass headaches. Buy a Linux book or something if you can, Linux is MUCH different than Windows, and it's even harder to learn if you're used to doing everything in Windows.
EDIT: Also be prepared to not have everything work off the bat, some hardware has no Linux support.
1. 64-b modes. Is Ubuntu 64-b, or 32-b? 2. SLi Support, is it there? 3. Windows Compatibility, does it have full XP compatibility for games and stuff? 4. Photoshop CS, and Studio MX Pro. Anyone know if they'll work on it? 5. Ease of Use. Not as easy as Windows, but is it easier than the other distributions?

1) It can be 64b if you so desire, especially if you compile applications yourself.
1) SLI, dunno, I use ATi, never looked into SLI.
3) No
4) No, at least not very well, and it takes mucho tewaking to get PS:CS to work.
5) Ubuntu is pretty easy, but if you are trying to replace windows, stop trying.

It's also ubuntulinux.org not ubuntu.org
