I just installed Ubuntu on my new Mac, and now that it's installed I don't know what to do with it. What's so great about it? List them below.

1. Play tetravex

2. nothing

1/20/2009 7:57:22 PM

3. Run OpenOffice

1/20/2009 7:57:44 PM

4. Look up porn

1/20/2009 7:58:19 PM

5. Reinstall Ubuntu

1/20/2009 7:58:51 PM

6. Post on TWW

1/20/2009 8:00:18 PM

6. fuck with compiz.

Isn't Ubuntu an African language? So you can do pretty much anything with it that you could with any other language.

1/20/2009 8:02:04 PM

8. Use Amarok

1/20/2009 8:03:05 PM

Amarok is the worst media player ever

Use Songbird

1/20/2009 8:03:50 PM

I was just saying.

Also, play Tux on the Run!!!

1/20/2009 8:04:44 PM

1/20/2009 8:22:10 PM

You can do the same things with it that you can any other OS.

drop out of community college

what's so great about it is that for most things, it's better than windows/osx, and it's free

not for gaming though

Windows of course, OSX? i think not. For most things OS X does things very well for any user.

Unfortunately printing is usually a crap shoot.

1/20/2009 8:45:41 PM

Load Apache and use it as a webserver.

ok time to install another OS. I like this Parallels software

1/20/2009 8:51:00 PM

Ubuntu on a new anything is a waste. Linux is for giving new life to pos hardware that can't run XP, or for password hating paranoids.

1/20/2009 8:52:16 PM

MS-DOS 6.22

1/20/2009 8:52:26 PM

Just give Windows 7 a run, its worth it.

1/20/2009 8:56:07 PM

i use the server version as a http proxy and file server, i used the desktop version on a dell 8100 (one word: rambus)

im using it to watch the ncsu/duke game at my apartment from tech (the server one)

i have become a big fan of the command line

1/20/2009 9:01:32 PM

Wait, RSXtypes=golovko?

For some reason though, I always confuse golovko with OEPIII

1/20/2009 9:05:10 PM

drop out of college because you cant sign onto your online classes

1/20/2009 9:08:57 PM

I couldn't get on youtube because flash wouldn't install

1/20/2009 9:09:28 PM

download it directly from adobe using the ubuntu 8.04+ file

it doesnt autodetect properly

1/20/2009 9:10:38 PM

OEPIII is also trapezius

1/20/2009 9:13:10 PM

I <3 Ubuntu, and Linux in general.


WINE makes everything better. Who needs windows anymore?

1/20/2009 9:56:57 PM

^ agreed... for the most part.
Its the shiz


Only wish more apps/games were compatible.

yeah similar situation

unless i want to compile my own drivers for my netbook, ubuntu is useless :\

a shame too because i really like it.

1/20/2009 10:44:22 PM

Ditch it & run Mint instead

1/20/2009 10:48:23 PM

haha no -- MSi Wind here. there are solutions but i haven't got any of them to work. curiously my ethernet adapter doesn't work either.

1/20/2009 10:52:39 PM

I've got Ubuntu on the lappy. 98% of the reason I have it there are for running the multi-desktop thing. Having all my personal stuff on 1 desk and all the 'work' on the other. Makes for a quick save
