    Just an update I have installed Fedora 8 on my new laptop, for the time being it is dual booting between Vista and Fedora. I only really use the Fedora install though, only use Vista if I have to. I must note that I have better wireless internet under Fedora than i ever did with Vista, keep in mind that the Gateway was intended to run Vista.

    Another random tip for Vista, if you're having problems with wireless networks (or any networks), go into adapter properties and disable TCP/IPv6 as it looks for that first (and sometimes doesn't look for TCP/IPv4). I've had a good amount of success after doing that as I had wireless problems.

    Thanks for the tip, I'll try it out next time I feel like booting Vista.

    I use Vista on both my laptop, and its not a bad OS. Just needs some polishing, but it does what I want. Light gaming, internet browsing, media viewing. I'm more familier with XP, but I had to upgrade at some point, so i got Vista anyway so I can get used to it.

    Works for me, anyway lol

    I haven't seen you yet, so welcome to the forums Katosen!

    I know I already posted, but it's time for an update. I used to be mostly XP, light Ubuntu (bad wireless support). Not anymore! I just got the new Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64 release and I'm loving it! Wireless out of the box, Firefox 3 Beta 5 out of the box, and more. Bye bye XP (for now at least).
    RIP Bucko

    i use mostly ubuntu..... hardy heron 8.04... but seeing as i only have my g/fs laptop right now i have to keep vista on there... so i got it setup for a dual boot... on my xbox tho...
    i run windows CE... Xubuntu Gentoox xDSL and Dyne Bolic
    im thinking of putting a modified version of BSD on there aswell....
    all the OS's on my xbox r there just to see if i could get them to run properly... i usualy just use it for games... (yay for switchable bios) xDSL is very useful tho when i want to surf the net while she has the computer...
