Funny lol...
I heard steam announced a mac version of steam Offically.
Also heard they saw linux.so's among some of their games, may be coming to linux too..but who knows.
Not quite sure i'm gonna do about this laptop...

I hope linux gets as much support. It would probably make me want to go, but some things in Windows 7, I must say, make me want to say.
Also, funny story, I did mess around with Ubuntu(7.x) in 9th grade, and I really did try to run steam in wine. It ran but then a few weeks later it quit.

Wrong again,
1) HTC Shift is an Ulta Mobile Personal Computer without phone calling.
2) HTC Advantage is an Ultra Big Pocket PC with phone calling.

Yeah, I could do without the Linux, though. I'd love to have Windows 7 starter without the keyboard. By far, this is the closest thing I've seen to what I want...
Windows 7 Ultimate (I'd install it myself, so it doesn't have to come with it)
multi-touch
hard keyboard
~$500
and a processor that's a bit better than the latest EeePC model...

[Q] Best linux OS for a newbie

So I'm guessing there is a lot of Linux guys here and I have just bought a new HDD for installing Linux. So what do you guys recommend for a total newbie (with only Linux that is) like me?
Anything else than Ubuntu
Thanks
I reckon Ubuntu is your best bet Pretty n00b friendly
Edit: lol Just noticed the big writing saying not ubuntu my bad
Try looking here http://www.linux.org/dist/
Set language to english and intel compatible and it will show all the Linux Distributions Maybe just see wht you like the look off

Yep you would either need another harddrive or to partition your harddrive or to run in a VM
i was just gonna make another partition, and if i do, and it installs, will it automatically ask me which to boot from when i power it on?

Oh okay. If you try something "exotic" let us know your feedback!! I am going to do a reinstall on my computer soon and was thinking of switching away from Ubuntu just for the sake of trying something new so I'd like to hear some objective reviews.

Sorry I meant you can make your own. There's a site dedicated to it but you might not want to do that just yet. Have you looked at OpenSuse? Haven't used it in a while but it was good. I tried the KDE version of Federa a month or two ago. A bit buggy! Mint Linux has had some good reviews anyway just my input!

Personally it's only the GUI I want to have some variety in so I'm trying out "Xubuntu" which I think is Ubuntu with XDE desktop-thing-which-I-don't-remember-what's-called-thing xD I did read about openSUSE but it was too much like Ubuntu I think
For a complete noob, Ubuntu is the way to go. It'll get you started pretty quick and the interface is just a matter of choice. If you want something that's uberHaxX0rZ, try installing a tiling Window Manager such as awesome instead of Gnome (which is default in Ubuntu).
I myself use Arch Linux with gnome-panel and Compiz as a standalone Window Manager and I'm loving it!
I myself am an Ubuntu man. I'm currently digging the Ubuntu 10.10 beta. 2 weeks until the final release!
I myself is trying to use the default window manager in Kubuntu but I can't get it working It's driving me crazy :/ It just says that non of the effects could be enabled...

This usually happens because the drivers for your graphics card aren't installed properly (or the card is ancient).
This is exactly one of the things why I personally dislike Ubuntu. If you're lucky, it'll work like a charm, but if you're not, you're gonna spend hours and hours trying to get it to work.
Either way, you can probably fix it by downloading and installing proprietary drivers for your card, since the open source ones probably don't work with your card. Though on the other hand, maybe you need to use opensource ones because the proprietary ones that installed automatically don't work? Who knows?

Quad Core??

I'm wondering why they are having quad core phones. They are really not that useful if you ask me. Instead of bringing out more expensive and powerful phones ; they should optimize the os.

Actually.. i love it.
The point of having extra cores is to optimize multitasking for all processes.
Background processes how have threads to make use of.
Well, eventually they will replace pcs... And I'd love to own one quad core phone with some gigs of RAM
