Ubuntu is a good product, steady as a rock.
Be glad that it installs easily, that the times that Linux was a complete pain in the ar*e to set up are over and done with. [/b]

Hence the fact that Ubuntu is n00b friendly/save and therefor gets the "n00bs Linux" mark.
So it's a compliment to Ubuntu.

Is there a specific reason you must go wireless? A router installs in 2 secs in Ubuntu. Plug in, setup adr&pass, done.[/b]

Yes there is.
Not My router.
The WiFi card is LITERALLY the only thing that allows my Desktop to go on line.
So I either install that device in Ubu, or no network in Ubu. <_<
It's that simple.

I disagree. If you want "pro" Linux not "n00b", disable all graphical enviromnent and enjoy ye good olde console.

There are legion of distributives and they differs nothing from each other except package manager, progs and graphical environment.

I couldn't install FreeBSD, but one my familiar told me it sucks.[/b]

Vague dismissal of one of the most significant operating systems around. The BSDs (Free, Net, and Open) are some of the highest-quality and most stable OSes in existence. It's famous for dominating Netcraft's longest-uptime list time after time, the ports system (which Gentoo copied, poorly), TrustedBSD (it's a bunch of stuff for FreeBSD, not a separate OS), ridiculously good SMP support, being developed as a complete OS rather than a patchwork, fantastic documentation, and I'm only scratching the surface.

Take a look around at all the idiot Gentoo fanboys: they ramble on and on about all these great Gentoo "innovations" which are actually knock-offs of the much older, more mature FreeBSD originals.

And what, pray tell, else is there to distinguish between them (besides the kernel, obviously)? If you actually knew what you were talking about, you'd realize that there are pretty significant differences between distributions, like Slackware's usage of BSD-style init rather than SysV (like many other distributions) or the differences between systems based on uClibc (like uClinux) vs. systems based on glibc (Debian, RedHat, etc).

Try NDISWrapper (which Ubuntu should ship with, though I'm not sure). You have the card running under Windows on the same machine, so with a bit of work you should be able to get it working with NDISWrapper, too.

I occasionally get a kernel panic when loading in Ubuntu 7.04. I have no idea what could it be. Does anybody share such experience?
