No need bro, depends on your PC manufacturer. For example, my dell PC no need any extra drivers to install ubuntu. Just plug in all your hardware (e.g printer or etc) before running setup, Ubuntu will auto-detect and install drivers for you.

ok thanks because i decided to install ubuntu on my intel laptop.hopefully after that all hardware will functioning well without hassle troubleshooting.

If you afraid Ubuntu will causing hickup with your Intel laptop, you could run the Ubuntu live CD first, try playing the sample song, short movie (already contain in live CD). If no problem with display and sound, that's mean your Ubuntu support your PC's hardware.

ubuntu give me difficult to install SAP Java system into it, but if i use Fedora it working well!!!

actually i going to install a mail server on linux, which linux base you prefer?

ubuntu server?
fedora?
redhat?

and which mail server you guy prefer, hope you guy give some comment!

thanks

try and found that my broadcom wireless did not work.tried other distro also the same.does linux support online driver searching like window?

RedHat... I use RedHat most.... others distro didn't really touch a lot in working.

Does windows online driver search ever work?

If you know your broadcom NIC model, just go to the vendor website and see if they release any linux drivers for it.
If not, try with ndiswrapper.

sometimes it is worked.

ok.will try ndiswrapper.thanks

I'm using Celeron 667 with only 256MB and a 30GB IDE Hard Disk.

I've installed Ubuntu 7.10 and it's lagging all the way. My system can't handle it. But I manage to install Deluge just to test the speed.

Would you guys recommend me any distro that is suitable for me. Main task is for office, web surfing, a lil' bit of movies and torrent.

A few more questions bout Damn Small Linux, debiankl recommend me this, but can I install DELUGE, bittorent client in DSL?

And also share files with XP OS thruough LAN?

And how to download DSL?

Else you can try Ubuntu Alternate CD.
Have you tried it before?

I only used Live CD and installed it on my old rig.

i used ubuntu, fedora, opensuse for work, centos, redhat for server, knoppix for hacking...............hehehehe!

Nobody is answering my questions

I haven't tried deluge in dsl before.
But dsl can be run in livecd mode though.
You can always try it yourself!

Yo dude... try PCLOS... great for n00b i guess besides Knoppix, Ubuntu or other distros...

It's a mixed up distros in 1 package...

but it turn out to be so much fun...installation is just piece of cake

oh btw i'm a Debian Fan - other than PCLOS i also have FC7, Debian, Knoppix, SunOS and FreeBSD...

wut pc game we can play in linux??

U can play windows game in linux. But make sure to wine it.

which distro is suitable for web developer and server....
my lecture recommend me to change to linux instead of window...

if you are new to linux..u should probably use mandriva or fedora..if you are really good..then probably debian or freebsd

newbie here. between mandriva and ubuntu, which one is easier to configure? i mean which one have the least amount of tinkering to do and just work out of the box? i had installed ubuntu both in virtual and real install, and i can't seem to get it working well. how about mandriva? does it have large collections of drivers? sorry if my questions is out of topic.
