New PC
Today I received my new Dell Dimension 9200. So I might be a bit busy for a while getting Ubuntu installed.
- Core 2 Quad Q6600
- 2GB RAM
- 320GB SATA hard drive
- GeForce 8600GT-DDR3
[update]
I like the design of the case, but it is large. Ubuntu’s repositories did not have a driver for the graphics card so I had to use this guide to do a manual install.
Compiz Fusion is up and running, I followedthis guide.

Here in Canada, Dell is still not shipping any computers with Ubuntu. The Planet
UU button was not made by me so fell free to use it.

That’s a plight. Hopefully they let you return Vista for $$. Anyway, I like all your bloggin. Cheers!

Out of curiosities’ sake, why didn’t you order a Dell with Ubuntu on it and supported instead of paying for MS stuff?
BTW, can I use your Planet UU button/banner thing? It’s slick.
