Ubuntu Breezy...yummy
I've got pretty much everything working in Breezy.
Sound is working good, (SB LIVE) and mp3s play great with XMMS, and several XMMS skins installed.
Video card is working good, (ATI Xpert2000; rage 128, and gl is working right...for an older card, the screen saver glmatrix runs great and looks very cool. glxgears runs at 745fps, again not bad for and old card.
Installed VLC and can watch divx movies full screen with no problems.
Network printer (HP deskjet 5850) installed and working fine.
Internet (DSL behind a router) works great.
Networking finally figured out, took a bit, but I am sort of a noob still. I can access shared folders/files on my Windows box from the breezy box and can access shared folders/files on my breezy box from my windows box...yea
All in all, i really like Ubuntu.
The main thing I can add is for noobs to keep reading the forums and use the search a lot. If you are really having trouble getting the hang of a particular problem....take a break and mull it over....its amazing what the subconscious mind can figure out. Sometimes, after reading the instructions from someone, you may not be executing them quite right. Don't give up....keep re-reading the topics and how-to's.
