@BrownieMix I looked it up, and you have a Toshiba Satellite L500, correct?Please link to the ubuntu forum post you start, so that future L500 users can find it through here as well.

Sadly, that "feature" reminds me of Internet Explorer. Why does a @#$%! web browser so tightly integrated with Windows that it can erase boot.ini when it's installed? (Yes, there have been cases...)

Yes. I know of "uname -r" to show my kernel info, all though pacman -Q will give you the version number like 2.6.30.5-1 as well. In my original stupidity I was only pointing out that all parts having to do with a kernel is immediate upgraded..... except the one part that I overlooked.... the parts currently being used by the running RAM.... which would require a reboot to load the new kernel to RAM.Right now I am using an AMD64 k8 kernel that I compiled/patched to use C[XX]FLAGS] and 432 HZ. I actually went back to a classic RCU, and Desktop instead of Low-Latency Desktop..... I basically want a faster computer, I'm not worried about media because I think sound quality in Linux isn't as good as my Vista64 partition using the 64 bit codec packs..... so I basically watch my movies and listen to my music collection in my Vista partition..... and I use my Linux partition for everything else (I still occasionally use it for media if I'm doing other things like using firefox, but if all I'm going to do is watch a movie or play a bunch of music I just log into Vista.... I might as well use it for something, especially if it sounds better).I also use oss v4 in Linux and it does help a bit, picture quality isn't bad for my movies but the sound in Linux has always been bad for me over the last 3 years. OssV4 does make it better, and if I'm using firefox and I'm just watching crappy flash videos than it doesn't matter..... but if I have a nice movie that's 4GB's and should have a nice picture and beautiful sound, I would rather log into Vista to watch it in WMP instead of VLC, totem-xine, mplayer..... whatever.
