who is going to step into your shoes and keep this puppy going
dont want to sound like a wineing noob but i was just wondering

ild love to help out but i know stuff all about programing etc that would go into updating Ultimate Edition and sadly aint rich so not like i could sponsor you or something lol sigh :cry:

the product is only as good as what u put into it and to be honest i been a fan of linux based distro just not had the chance to jump in and test it out.

also going to jump into UE1.7 or 1.8 if out by time i get to building but still interested in all the game u had in the gamer 1.4 edition i know in a post u can use the update feature and get them just wondering that be in 1.8 and does it grab all the games in the 1.4 or would i be better served to get 1.4 and update to the goodness of 1.8 later?

Excuse me? Did you just say "Mint" and "Ultimate Edition" in the same breath? What's the difference?

What's the difference between, oh, I dunno... Say, Christopher Lowell and Chuck Norris?

Do you want panysy-boy panache or do you want raw, unadulterated ass-kicking power that will leave your friends beaten, bloody and writhing in supreme agony?? Do you want your PC to simply hum along or do you want it roaring to life in a thunderous cloud, punching and snap-kicking like an over zealous, pissed-off ninja on a 'roid rage who's having a bad hair day?

Yeah... That's what I thought.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am...

I know I'm not TheeMahn, but maybe I could be of some assistance. The games you seek can be obtained through 1.6 or 1.7 upgrade script (located on desktop) and when asked, tick - gamers addition. It will download all the games. As far as upgrading from say 1.4 to 1.8, I don't think this will ever happen. For one, 1.4 is based on Feisty Fawn I believe and 1.6, 1.7 are Gusty Gibbon, 1.8 will be based on Hardy Heron. I don't believe that TheeMahn is going to work on the script as much to get you upgraded from 1.4. Another thing to think about is that TheeMahn is first working on a 64-bit edition of 1.8. So, I don't know what kind of games are going to be in the repository for the 64-bit version of Hardy. Prob. not a lot.

Hi all:
I just wanted to put in my 2 cents worth. I am running 1.7 and I have to say it's with out a doubt the best distro, (I heard it is being considered a distro now), that I have ever tried. I too use it about 95% of time, except when I have to boot back into Windows XP to do school work for college. I have winxp I can use via Virtual box, but can't use it for school work because it doesn't allow me to use the 3d capabilities of my video card, which is required for some of the applets I need to run. When I finish my school work and reboot back into Ultimate, it's like coming home. I do have one question though. I am running 1.7 32bit and was wondering if there is much difference between 32 and 64 bit OSs? I have an AMD opteron 170 and was considering the 1.8 64bit upgrade when it's ready. I realize it will probably be a fresh install to go from 32bit to 64bit. Does the 64bit offer any performance improvements, or would I be better off just doing the upgrade to 1.8 32bit when it's ready? Again thanks for all the great work Thee Mann.

Thanks, I have been running what will be Ultimate Edition 1.8 x64 for a couple weeks, have not even tried 32 bit, and will never go back to 32 bit again (except to build it for users incapable of running 64 bit). I have ran both the 32 bit and 64 bit of Ultimate Edition 1.7 and x64 is way faster especially when you "attempt" to put it under a load. I used to hate 64 bit because of nonavailability of software, this has changed (the repo for Ultimate Edition 1.7 x64 & Ultimate Edition 1.8 x64 is larger then the 32 bit repo to try and put things in perspective. Initially I had nothing but problems with harty, this also has changed and mostly within this week stability is setting in quite nicely. The way 1.8 x64 runs I have not even considered going back into 1.7x64 (was my primary OS). I highly suggest a 64 bit OS using the chip you have, be it 1.7 or wait on 1.8, you will never look back. I just finished writing the page that will be injected into the OS it will be "home page" when you open the browser. While it does not explain the gains of using 64 bit this does. Raw speed. Boot speed is not the only gain... Responsiveness, I can drop the hammer on it, for example I am running 16 programs (pretty low to me, I am really hard on an O/S) if I want to open 10 firefoxes they will open as fast as I can click the mouse, this did not happen when I ran 32 bit.

Thanks for the prompt reply, Thee Mahn. Since it has to be a complete re-install, what would be the best way to back-up my files, to be able to restore to new OS? Also, how intuitive is the backup software that comes with Ultimate? I believe it iscalled Simple Backup and Restore. By the way, I really like the black and teal colors in some of the screen shots. Is this a theme in 1.8? I think Hardy was scheduled for release tomorrow, any idea how long after the release that your final 1.8 Ultimate will be ready for download? I guess that's enough questions, didn't mean to ramble. Keep up the outstanding work. If I knew more I would offer some input, but frankly, being as much of a noob as I am, I would feel silly doing so.
