Hi,
I am new entrant to the world of FOSS and I am currently using Ubuntu's Intrepid Ibex. After seeing all the videos and write ups about Ultimate Edition and being somewhat of a gamer (an amateur only!), I was immediately taken in by the Ultimate Edition gamer's edition. It is currently downloading (being in India the torrent would probably take a week to finish off !!!). Anyways I had 2 questions before I make the move to Ultimate Edition
1. My internet worked without any configuration at all when I went installed ubuntu 8.10. I have a broadband connection stuck to a net gear router (I use to stream to my PS3). I want to know if this would be a breeze with Ultimate Edition too (I mean I did nothing, installed Ubuntu and next thing I was browsing!). This is a major concern for me
2. As for gaming, I currently own a somewhat outdated laptop with an intel graphics card (I know, most of the hard core gaming does not work with this). I wanted to know for this Ultimate Edition gamers edition is this enough? I am anyway planning to go a to a desktop soon, in that case what would be the recommended graphics card? Suggestions would be great.
3. Lastly (I know I said 2 but here goes another) - I use media tomb (for ps3 streaming) and rtorrent (a wonderful torrent client), I a assuming that I would be able to install and use them with Ultimate Edition too. This is just a safety question I guess.
I would be grateful if someone can clarify these things.
Thanks,
Cannon
