QUOTE(ubuntu @ Dec 10 2007, 09:08 PM) 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.Added on December 10, 2007, 9:08 pmAnother new Linux distro - Vixta.   |

If no problem with display and sound, that's mean your Ubuntu support your PC's hardware. try and found that my broadcom wireless did not work.tried other distro also the same.does linux support online driver searching like window? |

QUOTE(kons @ Dec 24 2007, 12:09 PM) Does windows online driver search ever work? sometimes it is worked. 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. ok.will try ndiswrapper.thanks |
