Hello to evryone):P, after many hacked versions of windows 7 i had to put out, i decided to use Ubuntu 10.04
As i'm very new in the Linux world, i'd like to say thanks to everyone that has the patience to explain certain doubts i might have.
:confused:
I'm about to install Ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx 64 bits on my system,however i have some worries i'd like to share with everyone reading this.:guitar:
I'm very upset with Itunes company, i love using my ipod with the correct album arts in it, unfortunately i know there is no itunes for linux, there are some other programs to be used instead, which i have try amarok,gtkpod and rhythmbox without really success. The only programs that seems to work is gtkpod,but it's very odd it's use and i cant really enjoy playing music there.
From here, can i ask, Would be worth use Virtual box using either w7 or win xp for just the peace of mind? in others words, just use windows as a virtual boz just for being able to use itunes.
I have read that usb functions are hard to come by if you are using virtual pc? Is there any truth in there?:---)
2nd and last, i like linux net security and stability, however, i like playing Stalker Clear sky and Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl(booth on them on steam not retail cd):-#
I have been reading a lot of using steam with wine, also with Stalker-shadow of chernobyl seemed that worked, however, the clear sky edition, did not work? I havent tested it myself, so i cant really say either of them will work under wine?:-s
I thought to use virtual pc for playing the stalkers games, plus the itunes, too bad to know that the speeds i might be getting arent really fast and furthemore, i wont be taking full power of my ATI 3850 series at all, since virtual pc, emulates windows, not like wine that actually runs it translating to linux kernel operation. Before i forget, should i install the none open source drivers from ati or just use the open drivers from linux and then install the ati drivers for linux?[-o<
Summing up everything, what guys reckon i should use for itunes and for STALKER games?
Wine?Virtual pc? QEMU? or just install in other partition windows?(which i would rather not do
Thanks again for any help given, and a my regards to the developers of Ubuntu arround the world,:rolleyes: Microsoft time is running out! LINUX FOR HUMAN BEINGS!
