Ubuntu has a great amount of hardware support right out of the box. I have a dual-boot miracle working... I can boot into my SATA drive and go into Windows XP.. or I can boot to my PATA drive load Ubuntu and run 99% of the time with no problem.. but when I need to run my iTunes library.. I can load up my Windows XP install from within Ubuntu with VMWare (the same exact installation of XP living on my SATA drive. I love it!! And even with my older hardware (AMD Sempron 2600, 1GB RAM, Radeon 9250 [which has horrible but working support in Linux]). With my video card I can't do the fancy XGL graphics with the latest Compiz Fusion... but I do have a solid system that does anything and everything I need and runs two operating systems simultaneously fast enough for me to get stuff done. (I'll leave Ubuntu running all the time and Remote Desktop to my WinXP VM from my work laptop all of the tim). Yeah.. I can't go on about how easy this was to setup. hehe I would move back to WinXP or switch to linux man. Ubuntu has a great amount of hardware support right out of the box.
