I have an X2 3600+ and Biostar TA690G..

Should i dwnload the x86 version or the 64bit version ?? cd or dvd - difference ??

[Dark Star]

^^ X2 3600 + is a 64 bit processor :P so you can use 32 bit as well as 64 bit s/w in it.. while to gain the maximum suppport and performance you need to switch to 6 bit version so download it . :D Happy Tuxing ..

thanks Dark Star..

Btw.. m sure u meant X2 is a 64bit Proccy and not a browser :P

Also.. Ubuntu / KUbuntu ... and wat not.. Beriyl / Compiz / G-nome.. man i m confused.. want to switch to Open Source.. atleast try.. but these things.. heads all messed up :S

Need Some help.. buddy :)

[Dark Star]

Ubuntu and Kubuntu are nearly same but the difference is that Ubuntu has Gnome as the Desktop Environment while Kbuntu sports KDE as Desktop Environment..

Gnome: GNOME: The Free Software Desktop Project
Kde: K Desktop Environment - Conquer your Desktop!

Berly is dead now but for information it has been merged up with Compiz to make Compiz fusion... Both Berly and COmpiz are 3D Desktop Manager which gives stunning effects in desktop ;)

Compiz: compiz.org/
Berly:www.beryl-project.org-

[rajshah]

^ that means i can dwnload Ubuntu.. and use Compiz fusion to spice up my desktop ??
Can i also use KDE on Ubuntu ?? (Assuming these are all desktop envirments !)

And is Gnome like the default or basic Desktop environment ??

[Dark Star]

Yes you can install Compiz fusion .. to do this see this thread http://www.techencla...5-new-post.html

Now you can also install KDE on Ubuntu but I did not see any reason for this Gnome FTW .. btw still here is the link for you needs How to install KDE on Ubuntu

And yes Gnome is the default Desktop Environment in Ubuntu.. Which is pretty good I think.. :D

Hope this helps.. Peas Ds ;)
