Hi there
I managed to install Lubuntu on my laptop and am sufficiently impressed that I want to install Ubuntu on my desktop. Caveats being a) when I boot from my USB HD (the same one and the same method for my laptop) it just freezes on a black screen with a white cursor blinking intermittently.
b) I tried loading it via Wubi but it wouldn't seem to allow me to update the driver on my graphics card (ati Radion HD 5800) and, for some reason, the mouse pointer was invisible...
c) and finally I use my current PC to game - I tried WINE/POL on my laptop to run WoW, and it was a bust - I could load the program but it took me nearly 10 mins just for the system to process my clicking through all the EULAs. It's a low spec laptop (maybe 6 years old?) but I had WoW running on in (at low specs) as recently as six months ago.
Anyhow, if you can help I'd be much obliged. I'm scared and nervous and excited about being able to make the switch to Ubuntu on my main box. It's fine not being able to game on my laptop, but if I can't play WoW or my many Steam games then that's a road block for me
Thanks in anticipation
