The issue with computer users is not that they can't solve problems or get a particular setup working how they would like, its that they won't try.  We have become too happy to rely on others to do all our thinking.  <br><br>I too have come across problems with Graphic and Wifi cards yet I appreciate the time and effort people have put in to create a wonderful free product or to assist fools like me in forums.  One day I hope that my mucking about might be able to assist the wider community.  I'm excited that broad comm has released an open source driver, and when I have time I will be swearing at some of my older laptops as I try to make them work on Wifi with Ubuntu and the new driver.  <br><br>As for the problem with the NVidia cards, install the driver :) <br>I am lucky (not that the wife would agree) that I have vast amounts of Graphics cards laying about, so if I do bump up against a problem I will swap out until I find a card that works and use that instead.  Failing that I will install FreeNX and just connect remotely and debug/install from a different machine. <br><br>Obviously using the CD to check if your hardware setup will work is great.  Its a shame you can't do that with Windows... (someone is bound to tell me I'm wrong about that).  I have spent less time chasing down bugs and fixing incompatibles under Ubuntu then I did under XP (or 3.11).  Ubuntu has pushed Linux into the general public view and is almost ready to be a solution for all.  If my Mum/Dad/Wife/Grandparents can get to grips with it then I'm confidant that one day it will give Microsoft/Apple some great competition.<br><br>Chris<br>Unix Support/Linux Liker/Windows Acceptor<br></div></body></html>
