Mmmm for Blackzmage, try Ubuntu 9.04 beta. I have just used a Linksys usb stick on my Dell Inspiron 530 over SMC rounter using Apple Airport Express as base station and I have no problem getting the wireless network running. On the other hand I couldn’t get D-Link usb stick to work. I wonder! I alove my Ubuntu though, I have been using it over 2 years now.

This is truly a great article. I’m a noob when it comes to Ubuntu, but I’ve been using it since 6.10 came out. But never actually got around to understanding how I can get accustomed to this operating system. When 7.04 came out, I used Beryl, and it worked fine — I got it by Fluke! (lol). I’ll go back to my point, reading this tutorial I now understand what to do and why to do it that way. I got compiz fusion to work on my hp dv4z :P
Good Luck with the contest bro!

First of all I’d like to say, nice tutorial!! =)
Secondly, I’m having some major problems with downloading Compiz Fusion, the big lengthy code that you had there, it keeps giving me an error in terminal! What do I dooo? Any help would be great!

Sam-M, great tutorial. before I had read this tutorial, I had no idea what ndiswrapper was, I tried using ihmo but had no luck. I think i have the same dell as you. and so I tried your ndiswrapper idea and it worked great!

Thanks for the step-by-step guide! It was simple enough for me to understand therefore eliminating the possibility of be screwing up along the installation process :P. I’ve been dabbing into Linux here and there and have mainly left it aside due to it’s complexity, but you’ve helped me pick it back up with this easy to use guide. I’ve successfully installed the OS and am very happy with the results, hope to see more great guides from you!

None yet. I m planning buy a new laptop after holidays so i m between the dell and toshiba u400-10n. I prefer the toshiba, but both have that card. And i dont want those effects that are fantastic to be messy or not work at all. I ll put of course 8.10.
Excellent guide, hope you get the stuff ;-)

Max, try my way of installing Compiz and if it works, perfect. If it doesn’t, however, I will try and look up an alternative for you. Which version of Ubuntu are you running?

A question about compiz. I m planning buy an Inspiron 1525 and has x3100 that is said having problems with compiz. Is it true? Has anyone tried and works ok without mods?

Nicely informative article. This is being typed from an Ubuntu system which due to laziness, administration fatigue from work (27 workstations plus 3 servers) and general annoyance, I’ve come to use exclusively for Internet and general day-to-day use. Sometime come spring, I’ll get around to reloading Windows XP on the other system to improve it’s stability, but execpt for Adobe products and a few necessary Windows programs, it’s funny how little I miss it. How well does the Adobe CS3 suite run on Server 2003?

Your article was really helpful for me to learn how to let my labtop to boot from cd drive first,as I needed it to install my kubuntu. I also liked the way you taught how to install compiz fusion on for my kubuntu. I’m so glad that you took the time to write such an article.

Since Chris had mentioned about ubuntu in 2005/2006 I have been an avid fan of Ubuntu since Hoaryhedgehog. Their second release of linux under their name. And loving it on all of the computers that I have installed it on. Very reliable and stable for any workstation/desktop, laptop, and server. I’m currently using the latest version of Ubuntu 8.10 but it is another dirivative through ultamatix. Called Ultimate edition ubuntu. Amazing stuff with all the new games. Take a look and see everyone. Chris if you have a chance take a look as wel this is a plus for gamers as well who want to play games under Linux. http://ultimateedition.info/ultimate-edition-20/ it is a must to take a look even without the game add ons.Both 32 and 64 bit are available.

Regards,

Karl
