First off, I am a complete noob, so be gentle. I installed my first distro last week and found info on ultimate on the web. It looked intriguing, so I gave it a try. Needless to say, I'm hooked. Just two problems though...
1. Everytime I try to install the gamers edition, it sticks on America's Army. Eventually (5-6 hours later) the install skips straight to clean up and after the restart, nothing has changed. I have tried at least five clean installs, but to no avail. I am running Ultimate 1.8- 64 bit edition.
2. After taking a break from trying to get Gamers Edition working, I have tried a few of the games, and without fail, on all of them I can see the entire desktop through the main game window. Its almost like the game is on tracing paper in front of the desktop. Any suggestions?
Last thing, is there anywhere that I can go that will give me some step by step tutorials on getting around in this new OS? I need things like working in the terminal, how to install apps, and dealing with the kernel (what is the kernel anyway- told ya, uber noob).
If it helps, I'm running a Phenom 9600 on a Gigabyte 570 SLI mobo, 2 gb DDR2-800, 2- 8800 GTS graphics boards, and a x-fi extreme gamer (which I can't use until I learn a little more). I'm still using Windows for gaming but so far I'm wanting to run everything else on Ultimate Edition. I just need more knowledge.
Thanks for any help!
