You are the cancer that is killing Linux.

you obviously need your soundcard drivers, if they werent found during the install chances are linux drivers dont exist

go buy a real computer

ahah oh wow

Use Debian. Ubuntu is a chopped up version of it. I never had a problem running it on any of my machines (SGI, Mac, Intel, AMD, etc).

On Vista it's easy, use the sound drivers from the manufacter website or from the drivers cd...

On Linux it's more hard, you have to make sure your kernel supports your soundcard (else you'll need to recompile it), then modprobe, then enable support for it... (yes, even the absence of one configuration option can make your sound gone)


On Vista it's easy, desktops effects are already available, and they get even faster if you download the graphics drivers.

On Linux you have to install the NVIDIA drivers, if you alread y did then your gnome/kde or compiz fusion might got broken somewhere, reinstall?

One Linux it's easy, just use the drivers included with your kernel.

On Vista it's more hard, you have to get the drivers from the manufacturer or from the drivers CD.

Only 14-year-olds use desktop effects. They get in the way of actually using your computer, and they slow everything down. There's a reason real Linux distros don't come with Compiz.
Also, I've yet to find even a single case of Compiz not just working if the right video drivers were installed.

Your niggering post is made of straw men.

I use the integrated onboard Intel graphics chip on my computer. Compiz has no problems for me whatsoever. Ahh the wonders of open source
