I myself am downloading 7.10 right now. It's the latest version I can really run. The only ATI drivers that work well with 3d games for me are the ones before FGLRX support came out, however, I cant install them because they arent compatible with the kernel 8.04 uses.

So, what about you guys?


Sorry if this has been posted before. I searched and didn't see it.

On my quad core Q6600, plain vanilla 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04.

On my underpowered laptop (256MB RAM, 1.5GHz Celeron), minimal installation of Ubuntu 8.04.

7.04: it works for me, haven't tried 7.10 yet, had a look at 8.04 but couldn't be bothered figuring out the tweaks to get it to work on my systems (had to go to failsafe mode to use even the Live CD)

On my main system I'm dual booting 7.10 and 8.04 I'm mostly on 8.04 but I've had so many problems with it.

i'm using the fglrx (proprietary) driver and 3d effects are lightning fast.

8.04 rocks my world! No problems besides having to do 3 clean installs back-to-back...(probably due to my reckless attitude to learning new things. I love it...No, really.

I don't use Ubuntu on the desktop, but one of my servers has Ubuntu 8.04.

8.04 is great. I'm using Kubuntu, the KDE desktop looks more like Windows to which I'm more accustomed, while Gnome resembles a MAC. Just discovered yesterday that installing a SB Live card and disabling that noisy onboard sound device was a simple plug and play!

8.10 alpha2 has been so stable I've been using it as on my main system, I backup important file to my 8.04 system on a daily basis, just in case. Linux Mint Light, latest version, on my laptop.

I am running with Ubuntu 8.04 but I am having problems with my ATI driver, I even did http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4749740&postcount=12 and other things as well. All I need is Guild Wars still.

I'm using 8.04.1 on my Thinkpad, it runs perfectly well (although with the original 8.04 I had some wifi-related problems).
