wow, how big!!! I can't believe I just said that to you, but you know what I mean

Yes. I went for screen size and plenty of RAM (8GB) when picking it.

That is not running full screen either. Just in a window.

But yes, OSX is good eye candy.

Re: Ubuntu & printing

Because I went for a 17.3 inch screen on the new lappy rather than the 15 inch that most seem to come with, so I can run things at a decent resolution/size, even in a virtual machine.

Re: Ubuntu & printing

that looks pretty decent actually, as far as displays go......

Re: Ubuntu & printing

Indeed. For example, I have OSX running in virtualbox here as I fancied a go.

Re: Ubuntu & printing

In the end though, like most things, there is a learning curve while you get used to doing things in a different way with different tools.

Day to day stuff is not really that difficult. It just looks a bit alien to a Windows user at first.

You adjust quicker than you think.

Re: Ubuntu & printing

Or try it in a virtual machine (computers) 1st then.

Oracle VM VirtualBox

You can see how you get on with it in that without any danger to your PC setup.

Re: Ubuntu & printing

Do what i've done.

Keep windows and test ubuntu before deciding. Pretty slow if you test from disk/usb or quick if you have the room on your hard disk to allow a choice at start up. As long as you can get online help is at hand.

I started yesterday and i'm already looking to devote the whole disk to ubuntu.

Should add that if running from portable medie no changes are save to hard disk.

Excellent, thanks very much.

Just need to find a decent program for pdf viewing & printing and everything else i can take my time with. (one with a print button instead of ctrl p)

What a star.
