Long story short- I tried Linux mint 8 and the most recent release of ubuntu out on my computer. They work just fine running off my 64mb integrated video card, but after I get the option to download drivers for my nvidia 8400 gs video card, it either freezes before it boots or I get some text on a black screen that keeps flashing. I tried setting the onboard as the main video card in bios, and same with the new card. Am I doing something wrong? Or does ubuntu and linux fail and windows is just destined forever to not be a pain in the hind end?
