I am wishing to install Ubuntu 9.10 on VMWare Workstation, as part of an assignment.

I need to be able to grab screen shots of the full installation process - but when mounting the Ubuntu ISO in VMWare I keep getting prompted that a 'Easy Install' will take place; this removes many of the installation process that I need to grab..

Is there any way to turn this option of at all?

(Hope this is the right forum for this one! Mods, pls move if not!)

TIA

After recently trying Ubuntu 9.10 and Gentoo 10.1, I am torn between the two distributions.

I preferred the Gnome desktop until now, but the latest KDE seems to be stable and easy to work with.

The Gentoo Live DVD has KDE and seems to be faster in use then the Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD's (Gnome or KDE), despite all the extra applications on the DVD and the DVD/RW being slower than the CD/R.

The Ubuntu is faster when installed on my HD, but I've not yet installed Gentoo, so can't comment on that yet.

Maybe I'll have to triple-boot both of them with Windows!?:)

Have any other forum members compared these distro's yet?

[Embarrassed cough.]

I've always used Macs but can only afford a very secondhand one, such are their prices. (Besides, I don't like the way Apple is going: OSs/chips no longer 'backwardly compatible' i.e. change for money-making's sake.)

So I'm thinking of a new machine with Linux. All it'll be used for is downloading files of about 1Gb, archiving them on external hard-drive, transferring them to a USB-stick, and occasionally burning them to DVD. It must have USB-2.0 slots. Desk-top or portable: it doesn't matter, nor do looks: it'll spend its life chugging away in one place.

I really must have the distribution of Linux that is the best combination of reliability and simplicity to the very unsophisticated user.

Would correspondents kindly give their recommendations as to 'distro', specification or even an actual model, please?

Thank you,

I connected each of my two monitors to a DVI port on my graphics card as I want to run a dual monitor setup. When I power up the pc, the display appears on one of the monitors straight away, however, the other monitor shows the no signal message until the operating system's login screen appears (it's Ubuntu 9.04 - Linux). The same happens at shutdown. One monitor displays the usual stuff and doesn't go to sleep until the computer shuts down, whereas the other one shows the no signal message almost immediately after clicking 'shutdown'. The monitor also goes totally black and it also begins to act like a TV with terrible reception, like red colour and ants all over when it is actually showing something.

When I switched the cables around on the graphics card, the 'problematic' monitor worked fine and the 'good' monitor developed the problem described above. However, I ruled out a DVI port problem because when I disconnect one of the cables from the graphics card and attach only one cable/monitor to either DVI port, there is no problem at all.

It is a completely new system with up to date hardware. I am running Ubuntu, which I am new to and I have bought a GTX 260, which was recommended to me due to it supporting VDPAU and having Linux support from nVidia. I have only just installed the OS and have not done anything to it at all.

Am I supposed to be installing nVidia drivers for Linux or something? Is this the likely problem? I am totally at a loss. The label on the CD that came with the graphics card only mentions XP and Vista.

Any advice would be much appreciated!
