    ubuntu or keep fedora12?

    Im using fedora12 and it seems a little on the hard side for me as i am 100% new to linux. I can't even use one of my ati 5750 gpus (i have 2 which were in crossfire in win7) Will I be able to install one fo my 5750 in ubuntu and actually use the 5750's GPU power for something other than a paper weight?

    Ubuntu is a new user friendly distro and configures most of Hardware itself. Glad to know that you are enjoying it.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Sometimes, taking the leap is the only way you'll know for sure how any distro will work out for you. Many users including myself have gone through literally dozens of different distributions before they were able to find the one that felt just right for them.

    Glad to hear Ubuntu is working well for you.
