I had to install under safe graphics mode to get it to run with my ATI card. Then after updates I could install correct drivers. A small inconvenience. I installed the 64 bit version on an AMD +2 5500 black edition. Four gig of mem and a 250 gig sata. The only problem was the updates with those three files that hang. The "libcairo2" "mplayer" and "pidgin-libnotify" After reading here in some forums, I discovered I was not the only one with that problem. I had to install VLC Player which is much better than mplayer any way. I am happy with it and will encourage others to use it.

Totem(xine back end is good too).
Add the medibuntu repositories from a terminal:
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
You need to install totem xine, ubuntu-restricted-extras, libdvdcss2(for dvd playback). Remove totem gstreamer.

I just installed Ultimate Edition 2.1 on a used HP TC4200 Tablet PC that I just bought. During the past week, I tried out Ubuntu 8.10, Super Ubuntu 2008.11, and Kubuntu 8.04. But Ultimate Edition 2.1 is the best version of Ubuntu that I have tried so far. I installed it using a 2 gig Kingston SD card in a SanDisk SD adapter. As soon as I get the tablet and wifi working, I will be satisfied.

I had a little grief at the start , with the help of the folks here , narrowed it down to bad media or corrupt burning software on my old windows machine . I set up three computers and gave Ultimate Edition 85% of each drive . We have xp pro on the other 15 % . I find everyone in our family is using Ultimate Edition over 90% of the time , I'm impressed .
The people here are very knowledgeable and helpful

I have been trying and trying to install Ultimate Edition for along time now on to a Dell Inspiron 8100. The problem i kept running in too was the fact i had NO DVD drive or the ability to boot from usb. i had given up until the other day i found an 2.5" to 3.5" IDE adapter. Problem solved. I simply hooked my laptop drive to my desktop and installed then plugged it back in my dell. So I booted up and all i had to do was install my wificard with fwcutter and then my graphics card using Envy-ng!!! EVERYTHING HAS WORKED better than i could have ever hoped!! It has been worth the year+ wait to actually be able to use such a stellar OS!

Just updated from 1.8 Gamers. Love 2.1 so far.

I bumped my memory (HD and RAM) and added a new video card at the same time, very very happy with the system now.

Only issue thus far is I'm having some issues getting all of the updates. I've been reading some of the posts on here about it, just haven't messed with it too much to try and correct the problem.

In fact, I installed 2.1 on my buddy's laptop today as well. <BREW>

Great Work everyone, especially you TheeMahn
