so on a seperate machine i run Ubuntu n on my main machine (this) i run windows XP but i would like to go fully linux (ubuntu ofc) cus its great tbh i love it.
the only thing stopping me is the software issue...
see on my other system i run a pentium 4...1gb ram n a Radeon X1600, but (i know this could possibly be wines fault) when i run it it basicly comes up with some error ive not reasearched it yet...the hardware on this machine however isnt beafy as u can tell...
but on my main machine....i have a E6600, 8800GTS, 2gig n a decent hard drive :)
ive ran css (btw this is what im trying to run on the other) on this one n it ran tip top part from a lil bit of lag...
obviously as ive said im using wine :D but ihas anyone here had the same issue? it seems to have occerd in 7.10 cus its 7.04 it ran on the other machine same on here, im thinking of basicly redoing my hdd reinstalling xp n dualbooting with 7.10 but i wana make sure i wont have this problem vefore i do it...
has anyone here experienced this?
if its a known problem please dont have a go at me for saying this lol

I'm sorry, it really isn't very clear what you are asking.

Which machine do you want to run Ubuntu on?
What are these "issues" you are experiencing, and with what machine, and running which version of Ubuntu?

well im using the newest build of ubuntu 7.10 on my other machine (pentium 4) and each time i try running CSS through wine basicly i get an error message...my screen goes black and just comes u with some error

id like to run 7.10 on my main machine but want to know if this is a hardware issue or a problem with 7.10 cause if it is a problem with 7.10 theyd be no point in me installing it on this machine :D
appologise for the poor english but im tired n cba :P lol

CSS? I take it you are not referring to Cascading Style Sheets. Are you sure this is compatible with wine?

Perhaps if you require assistance with this you could write down the actual error message you are getting.
