yep, i'm running kde4 on ubuntu 8. i have a p4 3.2ghz with 1gbRam, 200gbHD, and a 256mb nvidia 5500fx vcard. compiz runs great on the computer just in case you were wondering. no hiccups whatsoever. fuck dual booting unless you have 2 OS's on 2 separate HD's. i'm done partitioning drives aswell; i'm boycotting it. ha.

You don't need a separate drive or partition to run a dual boot. You can put both OS's on your C drive. I use XP pro for my DAW, and Vista for everything else. Works like a charm.

huh? hmm... that's odd. though isn't that kind of redundant to have xp & vista on the same drive, let alone same partition(i've never heard of such a thing).

Is ubuntu a src or binary based distro? If I'm going to run a distro, it's gotta kick it old school. :lol

Started on Slackware maybe 10 years ago, and moved on to Linux From Scratch once Slackware refused to put a 2.6 kernel in for so long. Multilib + Xorg7 has made LFS a nightmare though, so Gentoo has been my Linux of choice the last couple of years.

Back on topic, do you see any advantages of KDE4 over 3? Obviously not crashing is a biggie, but maybe that was just a Gentoo problem.

yeah if I dual boot it wouldn't be for two windows units....but people have their reasons so I can see it but you can dual boot on the same drive...but they will have to be separate partitions

ok I decided to stick with XP. Vista just sucks and performs much worse than XP(64 bit not much better). what a piece of trash OS that is :pctoss

How many ramahurtz do you have? Please tell me it's no less than 500,000.

I got the FV687x with the unistar+ and I am thinking of adding the 3.5 kikZ with some popstar but I am not sure how much megaramZ i'll need
