I tried to install Ubuntu as a secondary OS yesterday and completely jacked up Vista, so I just decided to say screw Vista(like Kev) and go with Ubuntu.
I've been messing around with the settings and downloading all kinds off cool stuff(got
the cube to work) and they've got a LOT of free games and applications, so I've just been thumbing through them as well. So far, Ubuntu is a LOT better than Vista. I got a bunch of cool icons and login screens and stuff too.
