Ultimate Edition Forum

I fingered it out.
I stole gamers.sh from the 1.7 dvd and ran gksudo sh /usr/share/ultimate/gamers.sh

So far so good.

Let me bid you the first Welcome then...

Welcome aboard.
Glad that's working out OK.
If you check out the post for the repositories at the top of nearly each page,
It has an "upgrade script for the upgrade script", prolly get you newer goodies.

Yeah, I seen that, but it states it's

Feisty to Ultimate Script

I'm using gutsy. And as soon as they get the wireless bugs, again, worked out I'll switch to hardy.
I will give it a try tho, Thanks!

You have absolutely NOTHING to apologize for Theemahn. After all, how many times do you think Bill Gates has stopped to read, much less answer any of the posts or email addressed to him, (and I am assuming that he does receive some). The moderators who so kindly take time from their schedules to reply to us obviously realize the value of your time, as does everyone else who is also appreciative of the huge effort you put forth in making our computers so much more than a "work station". With Ultimate Edition my computer is now a "play station".

Nice board you have there brother just upgraded from that exact board this quad core is no faster then what I had until I start opening a ton of apps, just to let you know that board is worth $300 used... And is no Joke... Heres a tidbit of info for you, do you know that because of Billy's home the clerk of courts had to upgrade their systems to linux. And I quote:

The number of building permits needed completely overwhelmed the Medina county clerk's office, necessitating the move to a new Linux-based computer infrastructure to deal with the volume.

You can read more about that here. I would not be surprised if his "high tech" home runs on linux as well

Thanks,

Just looks like an overly bloated version of LinuxMCE. I would not be surprised in the least that it is utilizing Linux for the brains. Have a look HERE @ the youtube site and watch both movies part 1 & 2 and this just shows you that this technology is already mostly available to you for free (software). Billy just has a really extreme version

I'm lovin' it!!!
