I am tired of windows. I always looked for an alternative. I even tried mac os panter. However both of them make your computer totally useless after 2-3 years at the most. I need to buy a pc but I don't want to continue this cycle of wasting my money. I have read about diffferent distributions. There are many goods, however I think I will buy a dell charged with ubuntu.
My concern is about compatibility issues.
1. I want to use a wide lcd with a resolution of 1680 x 1050. Does ubuntu support this resolution?
2. I have an epson cx7000F and a logitech ultravision. Would they work in the linux world? Does ubuntu include openprinting?
3. Should I buy support from canonical? I don't even see a link for online assistant from them.
4 Can I install other distributions in these new dells (mandriva, xandros, pclinuxos)?
5. Can I install windows xp if it does not work?
6. IS oppenoffice fully compatible with powerpoint ?
Thanks in advance.
