Ubuntu

@Bass. @Hodgy
I need some of you guys that use Ubuntu to help me about some things..
Should I install it?
Don't comment about games, I don't play any.
When I install it, does it overwrite my whole hard disk or does it keep my current files?
Is it faster than Windows?
I have wireless connection, so do I lose that option when installing Ubuntu?
What browser is given in Ubuntu?
Is there an Ubuntu market from where I download applications?

Dont get unbuntu its a bit slower and it dosnt wipe the hardrive

How it handles your partitioning is up to you, it's most likely faster than any other OS you've used so far. A barebone Ubuntu installation can use as little as ~230 megs of ram I think.

And just get Synaptic or something for package management, the default browser is FF but I prefer Chromium (package name should be chromium-browser).

tl;dr: Depends, Faster, Firefox.

With no arguments, that sounds like some solid advice.

Imo you should give Ubuntu a shot, if you don't like Gnome try KDE, lots of Windows users prefer it 'cause of the eye candy, I personally recommend Xfce because it just feels snappier and more responsive than the pimped out Gnome & KDE but at the same time it isn't as bare as lxde or something even more extreme

I would switch, but I think I do too much photoshop and vegas for it to work.

That's pretty much the only downside, though medibuntu and ubuntu studio do have some quality programs. Otherwise just use wine

Should I install it?
if you want, its up to you.

When I install it, does it overwrite my whole hard disk or does it keep my current files?
it doesnt wipe your HDD, and you can even try it before u install.

Is it faster than Windows?
it doesnt use that much memory so yeah.

I have wireless connection, so do I lose that option when installing Ubuntu?
i used my internet on it when i was done installing, so im pretty sure.

What browser is given in Ubuntu?
Firefox

Is there an Ubuntu market from where I download applications?
yeah. you can use the Software centre tool to look for apps you want.

Ubuntu is faster than Windows.
from Start-up to Shutdown. apps and programs open way faster. some of my games ran faster on it rather than windows xp.
if you used it, you would know.

Ubuntu is like a pretty Mac version of Windows XP.

@Chuck Bartowski
