Why dont you put Ubuntu on your Macbook?

No, it DOES work if you have GRUB installed. In fact that's EXACTLY what you have to do to remove GRUB and replace it with the XP bootloader.

It doesn't. You can disable Java and run OpenOffice just fine. In fact, it usually runs faster. The only reason there are Java settings in OpenOffice is because some extensions use Java and I know that Base uses Java for some things. The core application and 95% of the functions, are C++. You can get along just fine without Java unless you use Base or some of those extensions, such as some export filters, Report AutoPilot, document wizards, and a few other extensions written in Java. Java certainly isn't required for the application to run and be usable though.

It's a media server for my house. I originally had Ubuntu 7.10, but adding the second drive and trying to make a RAID0 out of it caused so many problems I gave up and put XP on it. I'll have to look into LVM.

You are 100% right about Ubuntu as far as I'm concerned, I think its fairly good but I'm not in love with it. Had whatshisname up there said something half as rational as this he would have received a rational response. Posting 'wireless kthx' is enough to assume he doesn't have two brain cells to rub together and he's gonna get treated as such especially on a message board.

Funny, it only took me 15 minutes and a bottle of cheap wine to penetrate your mother

If the price of using Ubuntu (or Linux in general) is that you have to help in the development process, most people are better off just paying for Windows or OS X. At least with those, once you pay you're done with your obligation.But that assumes your premise, which I don't agree with. There's absolutely *nothing* wrong with posting about how Ubuntu didn't work without emailing the devs (exactly *who* do you email, anyway?) first (or ever).And calling users dips**ts? WTF? Great way to promote Linux...

1. You don't need to type commands to install programs.2. A user friendly GUI does _not_ originate from Windows, but from operating systems before Windows.

Hmm...this MIGHT just be the push I needed to finally switch over to Linux.. There must be better alternatives made to some windows apps though. This still has me a bit indecisive..

But the version in the repos at the time didn't work with the driver. Of course in Hardy, that isn't an issue because it's now supported without NDISWrapper.
