  1. Re:Seriously? by malevolentjelly · · Score: 1 · on Michael Dell Using Ubuntu Linux At Home

    I don't see Ubuntu doing anything that Mandriva (or Mandrake) wasn't doing 3 years ago.

    Windows Migration Assistant? I tried to use Ubuntu to bail out a system with a messed up bootloader. The new installer is a joke. It only claims to have that functionality, everything is still just as *unfinished* as it was 3 years ago. It even used auto-update to ice my nvidia drivers that I'd used Restricted Drivers Manager to install with some sort of dummy package. Yeah. They're really moving forward...

  3. Linux+ATI=No Go by giorgosts · · Score: 0, Redundant · on CBC Recommends Linux To Average User

    ATI cards are 50% of the market, and if you happen to be in that, you have a good chance that

    1. You can't start the machine at all
    2. Your 3d would freeze
    3. Your tv wouldn't work (no tv-out for the open source driver)
    4. If you manage to get the tv going with the proprietary driver, there is no hardware acceleration.

    So Linux with an ati card is a very poor experience indeed
