    Re: How many of you completely switched to Linux?

    I recently whacked the Windows 7 side of my Alienware m18x. The 12.10 install was a little difficult because I wanted to use software RAID. I also ran into some trouble installing my nVidia drivers because the apt dependencies were missing the relevant kernel-header source deb, but it wasn't anything I couldn't work through.

    I'm a recent convert from Fedora, and so far it's awesome!

    Did you try to manually install the .run file form Nvidia's website? This is not necessary in Ubuntu unless you need the newest version maybe.

    I have been M$ free since win-3.11, have been using OS/2 for many years, have been playing with Linux on/off for many years.

    Since 2006 I have mainly been using Ubuntu, still have my trusty old OS/2 tower and fire it up now and then, and my web server is OS/2 based (lots of security in obscurity ), but nowadays I'm primarily for Linux, on my laptop, media centre and phone (Nokia N9/MeeGo)

    I love linux, and have been using it for about 6 years now. Unfortunately I have not been able to give windows the "boot".
    I still love to game, and my hardware is never cutting edge enough that I can take the performance hit from running games under wine. When more mainstream games offer native linux clients, windows will go in the trash for good.
    It's UBUNTASTIC!

    I use it in a virtual machine when I'm home and not working. I'm stuck with Win 7 for my IT job.

    When Steam releases Skyrim, New Vega$, Fallout 3, and Transformers WFC and FOC for Ubuntu then I could be persuaded...

    Gaming is the last frontier. There's an antivirus and firewall app. Steam is a big step. Now where does a linux n00b go to ask far halp on how to install Tomcat? I haz a stuck. ಠ_ಠ

    I see it in the repository in Synaptic, but not the Ubuntu Software Center. Use the Software Center to install Synaptic, then search for Tomcat in that. You may have to enable extra repositories in order for it to appear in Synaptic; I have them all--main, universe, restricted, and multiverse--enabled.
