Eeewh those ATI drivers give me the willies!!! Will have to give that a shot. Right now I can do the cube and the wobbly windows, just no pretty flames and that not a huge loss, but in a way miss it! Absolutely love the layers of coloring, although the "ole lady" thinks my idea of this being a beautiful theme is "off the wall, crazy!" Thought I had some kind of warning in for hardware, but apparently not! Probably tomorrow will give that a shot! Awesome to have the help of you finding that for me!!! Been busy a lot of the day, trying to figure if Gnome Boxes can be used like Vbox! No real articles and anything pointing to it, simply refers on the order of Qemu which already have that installed anyway! So no real gain with Gnome Boxes minus being nice and large on the screen! Now if I was able to install Office into it, would be sweet! Am going to have one of those ROPD classes and so far have no way to buffalo them with any Linux browser!!!! Sure could get Wine's browser up am sure, but Office 2010, never so lucky with it! Furthest I ever got to installation was on Ultimate which made it to the 3/4 mark. So far mine blows it off pretty quick! Better than some OS's in at least it does appear on screen(the installer). Expected a little more as I did put some things more centered on file format and transfer! Still would be grinning to get K9copy to work as it did in Ultimate! Don't think it is right, even though all the drivers(ubuntu-restricted) and the good, bad and ugly! You know what I mean! Drives you up a wall! Everything says "Yah, I'm installed!!!" Go to use it and is a different story! Tried copying old movie. Brasero copied right size but K9 put it at 1.2 and seem to cut out about 1/2 way and claiming it did the job! Screensaver is absolutely perfect as was in Ultimate. So there are some things that compare! Probably getting that famous Ubuntu cry(error message,nag) when I get to desktop only, since I didn't install the driver yet! Only time I get it, otherwise all doing pretty good! Will eventually find the key ingredient that is messing k9 up but will be a bit! Have been through a lot of sites for that!!!! Linux might be free, but with that stuff, love hiding it!!!! Anyway, really appreciate all your help! Like they always say "Two heads are better than one" Just so many things to check and do! Hoping am all loaded up and good to go by Thursday! Is a little smaller on the flash(iso only 2gigs) so boots and reacts fast. Will be perfect for school so am grinning on that. Java good to go also!!! Probably am a lot better off with this 3.5 kernel as that 3.7 is as you say a little too advanced for my aging system!!! Will be great when the cash comes in again, you know will be on the list to get!!!!
