    Been putting together a new PC for the past few days.

    I had to use Ubuntu, which automatically detected my DLINK PCI Wireless card, to download the drivers for said card for my new Vista install :pac:. 1-0 so far.

    You cant play mp3 files or some video off ubuntu without downloading codecs. Now I dont mind, and the process is extremely quick, but the problem lies if you dont have internet.

    you cant play alot of codecs in windows without downloading them either.


    I do think they should include the restricted formats and that sort of stuff in the distro as standard though. Even if they made a point of calling it restriced ubuntu (rubuntu maybe even :D) and then have a regular version of ubuntu without the closed source stuff for the hardcores.
