I'm more specifically thinking of trying Ubuntu--something easy to use, with a lot of help in case things go bad. I did some research and surely, Ubuntu seems to offer enough of just the essentials--music, videos, photos, word processing, web-browsing, etc. HOWEVER, there's one thing holding me back: Gaming. I'm not a hardcore gamer but every now and then I like to buy some new game that's out, and I'm a fan of pretty graphics. What does Linux have to offer in the gaming department, as far as compatibility with next-gen games, and graphics?

The laptop is a 14inch gateway that a bought one year ago. I've been happy with the laptop up until it broke one week ago. I'm not sure if its worth paying the money to fix or not. I really can't decide. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i majorly messed up my 1.5 year old computer.

so how do i go about figuring out what i need to replace?

i got a lot of viruses and such on my computer and even though i removed them my comp is in bad shape.

i am sure the HD is gone from the damage the viruses did but what else do i look at and what am i looking for?

if i try and rebuild it and get stuck i can always ask a friend of mine to help, he is good with computers but is oftin vary busy

Seconds problem is, I can't seem to connet to the internet. I tried my own wireless network and nothing. Under control pannel>Internet connection etc the is no icons for local or wireless networks. I seem to rember that i need to cinfihure my wireless card or something, but how? My XO Pro is a new fresh copy and I tried reinstalling it. the copy is only about 560MB so, I think that might be the Probleme.

This usually happens when I try to install a DVD game on my PC. It usually shows a file name that ends in *.cab and says "Error: Incorrect Function."

At first, I thought it was just the DVD drive but I tried other ones, including an external one, and I get the same error. I've even formatted and reinstalled the OS and the same error happens. Anybody know what this means, what's causing it, or how to fix it?

I bought my laptop about a year ago for $1000 out of my own money, it means alot to me because I bought it myself. I'm only 19 and I'm still in school. I keep up with defragmenting all the scans and everything on my computer. but I installed AutoCad 2007 to it about a month ago and then it started to get really slow, well today I cut it on not to use AutoCad but then it just blacked out saying something about I need to check for updates for RAM and that I need to restart my computer and all kinds of things. I'm going to buy a 1GB RAM chip for it soon as I can but I can't afford a $170 chip just out of no where right now its only but 512. I just want to make sure its not some softhwear malfunction thats messing it up or anything.
