After playing around with Ubuntu Gutsy liveCD for about one week, I decided to install this distro onto the hard drive permanently. The goal is to use the perinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium OS plus use the free OS, Ubuntu 7.10 (code name Gutsy Gibbon). I run this linux distro for a while on my Dell Inpiron GX260 desktop. I also dual boots the OS with Windows XP (posted on previously). This time is dual booting Ubuntu and Windows Vista on a laptop. I am a bit nervous before really doing it. I read some posting that we cannot really expect for the distro on laptop (many brands) to work 100 percent. Almost always something missing to work. The biggest problem (at least to my knowledge) of linux in general on laptops is the wireless card, which is sometimes is not supported by the kernel.
Dual booting Ubuntu and Windows Vista (coming)
(still to come)
After installation is complete:
If advance desktop effect cannot be enabled/activated, from synaptic or terminal, install xserver-xgl . In my case it solved the problem. If not, consult google.
