I just installed a SIS driver I picked up from a webpage. I waited
for a month before I took the risk.
There are no official ones on any Ubuntu pages, my laptop is now
usable.
Drivers are always installed as root, and contain (usually)
indecipherable firmware files, which might, or not, be rootkits.
Cross fingers until someone makes a "trusted" database of these
closed drivers.

Thanks. Several questions addressed that should be required reading.

I need 10 copies of windows seven. Any chance you might give
me a discount ?
And as a gift, maybe some backup stuff too, to make it useable
?
TIA

Hi Shadow!


Sorry I am not a MS disciple/follower and I wouldn't use a bloat like
Vista, not even seven (also bloat).
XP is bloat enough and today dual-cores and so drives XP as I wanted to
see that 10 years before ;-). However I use it with relatively old
stuff.... CPU y2000, MB y1997, GfX y2001.

Today stuff is just for XP, IMO. (pretty fast then)
and if not attacked, respectively, managed by a full lamer, stable as a
rock! For years, INDEED! Although, I install it regularily every year
from scratch (makes fun :))
