[NTLUG:Discuss] Ubuntu Install Problems: Resolved

[Johnny Cybermyth]

Update:

I finally got my Ubuntu install problems worked out.  It seems that 
there is an issue with dri and the ati x server in Ubuntu.  I just had 
to comment out all references to dri in my xorg.conf file and everything 
comes up beautifully.  I would like dri to work someday as I still have 
never played Tux Racer because I have never gotten any of my installs to 
use hardware rendering.

The Synaptic/apt package management system is a dream come true.  Need 
something? Just click and you got it!  I don't know how rpm based 
distros are still around, but please excuse me ignorance if I've 
overlooked key advantages.

The Ubuntu community seems very helpful.  Right now, there are tons of 
threads on the net about Ubuntu and various support topics.  I hope this 
project enjoys a long life as I am very happy with it now that it is up.

Thank you all for your suggestions and help in this.
