OK im downloading Ubuntu now. Tommorow evening i will take the leap. Is there anything i should know after its installed? Do i need to do anything? Is there a webbrowser so i can use the net and download stuff i need? or should i dl one now? Any security updates or anything like that? What spyware stuff do i need to protect myself? Or don't i need any at all?

This has got to be my favorite forum i have ever been to. Everyone seems so nice, its not full of a bunch of pricks. Everyone is nice friendly and helpful, i love it!

Actually Gzip doesnt store the pages, it just compresses them up before it sends the data to your browser and then your browser decompresses it. It saves bandwith, and it doesnt speed it up, it actually slows it by a second.

Well.... idk... i jsut figure that the main disk will be busy getting all the game data, and the page file disk will be busy doing its page file stuff.

That sounds super cool, i will use that 10gb for music then and the rest for w/e. I can use Partition magic to format, and partition the drive right?

Well currently i have my 80gb HD with windows (im a big gamer and dont like to clutter my HD too much) and a 2gb HD for page file. I could take ut the 2gb one and put in the 20gb one, take 5gb of it and partion it for windows and turn some into page file and other into... storage.. for stuff... and the other 15gb shoud be enough to get my feet wet in linux. Sound like a plan? As for Distro, i think im gonna go with Ubuntu, it sounds good, and since a lot of you guys use it, i can come here and bother you with hundreds of questions wont that be fun?

Ok i know there is a lot of topics on this.... but im gonna post a new thread anyways. The good news, i read the other ones Ok so i know i want to physically install it, not one of the CD boots, i have an extra 20gb harddrive. I could either: A) put it in my good computer 2.8ghz 1gb ram, but i would then have 3 HDs in there.. and if i put the third one in there then my DVD drive stops working.... I do belive there is a way around this, just don't know how. Use my old 900mhz AMD ~300mb ram I would prefere A if that is at all possible. Just for ease of use. I know almost nothing about
