No pain, some gain: Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot examined

thank you

Appreciate the advice but both my optical drives (or rather my IDE controller) packed in a few months back so will need to use a USB solution if any exist.

It's not a priority anyhow as it's back home on the other side of the country and no longer in regular use by me, it's just not fair having to talk to family members using the PC on how to reboot from the command line since a hard reset ends up disabling the USB devices (keyboard included) causing GRUB to keep selecting Ubuntu

Oh Ubuntu why do you hate me so?

I want to like Ubuntu I really do but it just does not like me.

My PC back home is still essentially missing an entire drive since upgrading Ubuntu from 10 to 11 has left me looking at a command line, turns out there are no compatible ATi drivers that support Unity or they just don't like my card (4890).

So from your review I guess the backup limited gnome2 (think windows safe mode) has now been removed which was my last hope to obtain working drivers. I can't even remove Ubuntu from the drive since from previous experience I know that will remove GRUB as well leaving my system unbootable

Thumbs up for TA

I always despair at how TA gets left out of mind when people mention game soundtracks.

Full orchestral and even changed in-game dependant on what was happening, not bad for 1997 and lets not forget the difference a game has when everything, even projectiles, are 3D objects and not just pixels that magically travel through solid cliffs

speaking of CS and UT

Anyone remember the old Counter-strike clones? Much preferred playing Tactical Ops (one of the UT mods) back in the day, had better hitboxes too if I remember

Hopefully this new CS will actually have people playing normal maps again, all I see on CSS nowadays is surf maps
