The Oracle Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 i didn't really read the whole topic, but seriously, it is awesome. The only reason I can't use it on my computer anymore is because the drivers on my Dell Latitude aren't compatible =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So using Ubuntu from a NTFS-partition could work. Plus, Ubuntu also supports Ext4.Regards, Stephan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris6310 Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 I have stopped using Ubuntu now. It's just a lot easier to use Windows. I don't mind it being slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind it being slower.lolwut?After breaking into ubuntu, I've been using it for quite a long time now, andit's easier to use than Windows, for me. Like, I actually find it an inconvenience when I need to use windows XDBut to each their own, I guess :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
