nope
2.6.22. so either wait for 8.04

or even better. compile your own kernel.

i was waiting for the announcement from ubuntu website

2.6.22, not the latest. not that big really, unless, you waiting for cfs, then compile your own kernel. or more hardware get supported

please specify what configuration?
if you refer to the kernel version is type uname -a in terminal

that is what i call a sudo abuse. or maybe there is a better name.

sudo is used to give certain user, a superuser access to certain command. or program(it is really the same thing)
of course you can use it to replace su.

here is an example
http://www.gratisoft.us/sudo/sample.sudoers

you don't use root in ubuntu, because it is locked.
you can enable it by called sudo passwd, which since passwd didn't receive a parameter, root have no password yet, will create a password for root.

you know my old laptop is a 855gm chipset, run beryl(which is a fork of compiz) on it, runs quite well actually, i uninstall it because it is rather distracting.

anyway it is not beautiful, but it is not ugly either.

intel release opensource driver, so it should work. quite well.

i think it is possible to strip every thing, just leave the network and bittorrent deamon running. along with the essential stuff.

if you used to photoshop, then you probably find gimp, a bit clunky, but it get the job done.

video, should work, not sure about connecting your video camera to the computer, but it should work.

you need to install video editing software on your own, it is not installed by default, but it is in the repository, just use synaptic

you need to worry about, you ati. check whether it is supported.

question 1:
basically if you are ubuntu, just type this in terminal
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

actually, it really doesn't matter for you to ends you backup file to .backup, it can be anything, it just to make sure that it got a different name,

which actually answer question 2:
in ubuntu, when need root access, start your command with sudo.
in other, type su <enter>
then type your root password.
then you will see a root shell. which is indicated with #, then just type your command.

as for your wireless, need to which what brand you use, erm fat chance it is not supported, so you probably need ndiswrapper, which might or might not work.

you still need to tell me what model is your card. which i don't know.

the big idea here, is to use your windows driver, to use on ubuntu.

which is why, i ask for a model, first, because, i do not guarantee that it works.
looks like it may not be supported, on linux.

need to take time, to check out how to install using ndiswrapper. which might not work at all.

the idea is to use, ndiswrapper, to run the windows driver, go check how to do that, with google.

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/...d,installation/

but i do not guarantee that it will work
