Backuped everything on Friday and started with 2 complete empty harddrives for windows and linux. So I first installed Windows XP as it is still unable (hey we live in 2006 and we use dualbootsystems for years now) to let the user choose if he wants to overwrite MBR or perhaps want to add other bootpossibilities.) and made it ready for (3d) programming again (downloading and installing codeblocks + visualc++ compiler and gcc, downloading nvidiadrivers and so on) Than I installed Unbuntu 6.06 this time as I wanted to test it. again with codeblocks + gcc and those libs I need to compile 3d stuff + nvidia drivers. It took around the same time to install both. I must admit, that I needed to change my xorg config to get dualscreen running (4 lines, that took inclusive opening a browser and visit ubuntuusers website for copying the 4 lines) around the same time as it took to enable dualscreen on windows. You are right, rightclicking the desktop and clicking some buttons is alot easier than editing the config your own, and knowing what to get from distributors server is harder than visiting nvidia homepage and click download drivers, and it would take alot longer if you are not used to edit xorg configurations or if you don't know what packages you need. I am using both OS for some years now and I cannot understand why desktopdistributions like ubunto still use this ugly textmode installer and don't come with a standard/expert button at the beginning. Knoppix for example shows us that hardwaredetection is done easily and a configuretool for Xfree or xorg that writes down the correct values to xorg.conf after you enabled the correct screen cannot be so hard to implement. well its opensource, perhaps we should start to write one :p[/quote]
