Don't Look at This Page!!! XD

I've hit the 2 month mark since I installed Ubuntu x64 on my PC. A lot has changed, the look of the OS, the amount of programs in it, the hard drive it is on, even the hardware :P. Even still, my PC runs strong as it can, I'm just holding off until the coming day that my mac arrives. When my Mac does arrive, I'm not giving up in linux, after practically getting drowned in Linux trying to get Ubuntu x64 to work properly, I feel the need to dive in farther and further. That's why I've downgraded m… Continue

lol 66% CPU Usage Idle in Ubuntu 8.04, 78% in OpenSuSE 11 Gnome, 21% in xfce.

Let's compare a similar speed of Pentium 4 Wilamette! (1.9GHz)
14% Usage idle in Ubuntu 8.04, 15% in OpenSuSE Gnome, 0% in xfce =.=

Hmm...

Anyway Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 is running perfect and Epiphany browser helps with the flash problems, further improving on the special lib codec for flash :D in x64.

All I can say is that it was working pefrectly one day and the next it waits about 25seconds before even accessing the hard drive. -.- (Filesystem or problems with the controller?) After sooo much experience with bombing, I'm pretty sure that it's either my motherboard or I'm just unlucky...currently researching the topic and STILL TRYING TO INSTALL PCBSD. *Grabs his Leo4All 10.5.2 Disc* Now time to research how to properly install a custom kext. :/

As many wastes of time and friends Linux distros have put me through, I've still yet to try any of the AMD64 versions. Hoping for a better experience I'm downloading Ubuntu Hardy AMD64. (Wow, I'll never learn will I :P) Anyway wish me luck, as my luckiness with Linux distros and Unix-Like OS's are very, very slim. (Srsly, setting up a hackintosh was a little bit more successful than trying to get Linux to work in the same way. -.-)

Ok, I love the idea of an open source system. I'd imagine since a lot of differnet people put it together, that they would know what was needed and how to make it run to the best of it's ability! A herd of a bunch of great open-source softwares at your fingertips! The idea sounds perfect!

But after 20 different Linux distros tried, I still have not officially moved to Linux.

The wired thing is that Linux is supposed to run better than windows xp or vista! That's what the creators believe and a… Continue
