Thanks,
I thought I would answer your question as well as post what I just dropped to the news and events section, since this is a highly viewed thread:

02/17/08 I have paid for a new hosting service (cost me $80) with a different hosting company and transferred the download server there, I also paid for another year domain registration for the repo and download server. The new hosting company offers 15 Terabytes of transfer per month was 2 Terabytes with previous hosting company. I have not seen greater then 10 Terabytes of transfer in any month, this action will hopefully ensure availability to download the distro. I am uploading every Ultimate Edition distro to date, this will take a great amount of time, but hopefully will never have to do so again. Enjoy!!!


Now to your question: *nix unlike windows was developed without restrictions did you know *nix is the only OS that supports 1000's of cpu cores, also called a cell processor? XP is limited to 2 cores. Ram is not an issue as well.

Yes all issues, you have asked are available for *nix, I would suggest nothing less then 256 MB ram and a decent vid card if you plan on using compiz fusion. There is a an app included with Ultimate Edition 1.7 called Miro Internet Tv pre installed for your convenience.

Text editiors many, Amarok is untouchable where music is concerned, makes windows look like a big joke. 3 torrent clients, 3 clients to watch movies with all of which pre-installed. Any further questions don't be afraid to ask, will probably a day or 2 before it hits the download server, ccal & torrent will be the only place to get it until it is re-uploaded.

The biggest issue with a user that switches from windows to *nix is what program do I use to do this or that, for example I use Yahoo Instant messenger, what do I use now? The answer beyond the many available to *nix is Pidgin is supports MSN, Yahoo, Myspace, AOL IM, ICQ, and many more 15 different messengers all in one app simply amazing, goodbye bloat and resource waste, welcome aboard *nix (be it mine or another).

I thought I might also point out the not so obvious, what most people are unaware of where *nix is concerned. In the Windows world the more you install the slower it gets and is called bloat or bloatware. In *nix it is called a feature, I have greater then 250,000 files on what a windows user would call their C: drive, this has no effect on a *nix system (minus a service which may be added by a program), another key point I would also like to take the time and point out in windows your drive becomes fragmented, this does not exist in Ultimate Edition or any other *nix system. Virus's a thing of the past, hmm why is Clam AV included in Ultimate Edition 1.7? To fix your windows drive Ultimate Edition can see a Windows drive (read / write), Windows would just assume kill grub and be the only system on your computer (no *nix filesystems are viewable in Windows w/o the use of third party software).

From what i know, Miro Internet Tv is not for watching live p2p television. You didn`t mentioned anything about Sopcast. I think Sopcast is a most have program for watching live p2p Tv in the next ultimate edition.

Perhaps I overstepped my boundaries in assuming that it was written with P2P in mind... none the less software is available, is it my job to install it for you? I just got done installing Ultimate Edition 1.7 on a comp that did not recognise his integrated network card, my answer rip the network card out of the ol ladys, a show stopper to an individual, I used to spend my days fixing network cards in *nix, something I don't have time for. I typically go out of my way to make your life easier, even if I or in this case make hers worse unfortunately hers is integrated same as both of mine both recognised, he must have intel network integrated an assumption. I will buy 100 network cards to ensure this does not occur again.

I will look into sopcast. Ultimate 1.4 CD apears capped @ 500KPS per user is up try and fold the server. A FOSI line is filling the void

hey there all!

on my current computer i have windowz vista and i would like to do a dual boot with Ultimate Edition. a little while back i had tried to install 1.6 but the partition slider was not clear to me as to how i could make a 5gb partition for Ultimate Edition. (i only want that much because i'm gonna save stuff on the windows and use explorer2fs or something like that) ok well anyway could i have an explanation of how to use the partitioner in the install? thanks in advance! i would like the tutorial because in a guide for gusty gibbon ubuntu, it seemed clear how to make a new partition but in Ultimate Edition it did not seem to be able to make a partition smalll enough. thanks!
