UbuntuOhio A reasonable request for Ebuntu.

[Kendall Brown]

Hey Guys:

I've been reading a lot about Linux and all of the different forms it 
comes in but I'm very frustrated about not being able to install it on 
the only computer I have.  I've tried every variation of the operating 
system I could find but none have gotten past the install process.  I 
basically gave up for the past two months on ever getting to see what 
this OS could really do until I read an article in the paper, saying the 
Dell was about to offer Linux on it's computers very soon.  I don't own 
a Dell but if a big company like that is starting to get on board with 
Linux then maybe developers of it will start making copies with a larger 
selection of drivers for a broader range of computers.  That brings me 
to my request.  Is there any way I can get a copy of Ebuntu Linux that 
has been tested and shown to work on my computer configuration?

Gigabyte K8NSNXP Socket 754
320GB, IDE  120GB, ATA
XFX GeForce 6600GT
Ultra 2GB Dimm RAM
Sempron +3400
X-Fi Creative Sound Card
2 DVD ROM
1 CD Burner

That's about everything I have inside of the box.  I have an Epson 
CX5000 printer and a LG plug & play monitor.  I've already tried 
installing Ebuntu after removing the sound card with no success.  The 
install process usually hangs on the install process when it gets to the 
firewall setup, with Fedora but Ebuntu actually let me get to the login 
prompt before it locks up.  My motherboard has two built-in LANs and I'm 
curious if that may be causing the problem.  Is there a way I can get a 
copy of Ebuntu with all the available drivers I need to get this working?
