sure everything u need is here
if u dont understand anything call me 08022982697

u can install some windows app on ubuntu using a program called wine, Heck u can even install windows xp on ubuntu, i have some over 1000 softwares on ubuntu that am itching to giv away, just get in touch with me and i will hook u up,


i will love-vendor ur pc to look like these

@Rich DAD,

yes! U can my DAD ;P , Let us know ur location so we can refer you to an Ubuntu Loco Admin member for assistance .

Thanks all.I reside @ Ketu area.

Good i stay in Ifako Gbagada u can call me 08022982697 so that we can hookup

Thanks a lot.I will call you later today or tommorow.i have gotten the Ubuntu Cd from a friend in Compuater village.Bythway i have only 7GB left on my HDD.will that be enough for the Ubutu or i will have to get another HDD

I just read thur the Ubutu nigeria ,it states some versions on ubutu.The one i am having is version 6.06 LTS .I hope this is not outdated?

@Rich Dad,

Oudated is not the right word, although that 1 came out a while ago,
Ubuntu 6.06LTS was the second release from Ubuntu,
These are all the releases;

Ubuntu 5.04
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake
Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy
Ubuntu 7.04 Fiesty Fawn

and we are expecting;

ubuntu 7.10 Gusty

I know of many people who use 6.06LTS because of it's long term support (LTS). the next Ubuntu release with LTS will be out around April next year. .

It will not be a bad idea if you decide to install the version u have, that is an earlier version and it may be suitable for beginners, if you don't want that, you can contact 1 of the Ubuntunigeria Admin's for a CD.

Since ur location is at Lagos, you can hook up with Bigbrovar or Afo . .
I would talk to them on ur behalf

Good Luck

;d

Thanks for the info.Bytheway what Version do i need to get that screen shot of bigrovar above (the cube stuff)??also what about my hard disk space i have only 7GB remaining will i need to get a new one or will that be okay??I have been trying to call bigrovar but i dont know what is wrong with MTN i haven;t been able to call or receive call for two days now.

MTN - Not the Shit, I'd be changin soon . . .

To get bigbrovar's PC look,

I'd have tu know what Graphic Card u have in ur system . . .

and YES! 7GB is aight for Ubuntu, note that after installing Ubuntu, do not try to reinstall XP or u loose the Grub, which may be kinda hectic during recovery. . .

Dont know .but i will have to figure out.I guess it to be 128 or so(not really sure)where can i get it?

128 sounds more like ur RAM, and if that's ur RAM Speed - I wuld not advise you to install Ubuntu like that, do an upgrade . .
Atleast, 512MB is required . .

For Graphic Cards, Right Click on My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced Tab -> Device Manager

Nope.My RAM is 512MB .Whats the minumum requirement for the graphic card to run the stuff??

i need to know the type of processor and graphic card that u use, so that i will know how compiz fusion (effect on my screenshot) would work on ur system, 512 ram is more than enough to run ubuntu

u know what
go to ubuntu nigeria,, all what u need to know about it is there

LTS is good for those in the business line. But for normal users i recommend normal releases cause they have the latest. i use Edgy and serves me but its better one uses the latest.
am in ibadan now ralvy

@afo;
That's great, so hw r u findn the arena? ? ?
