I'm am a novice looking to build a non-Microsoft desktop for simple office use.  I can't quite find what I want from any system sellers. I plan to run OpenOffice, Firefox, Acrobat and an opensource email package on Ubuntu.  That's pretty much it. No games, no high-end graphics. No high compute demnds.  Very simple, reasonably fast ...

I don't know how much of this is true or speculation from what I have learned so bare with me... and feel free to correct/reword anything on these subjects, but these are the biggest things i've been wondering about for a while... 2 part Q: It has come to my attention that Nvidia has made most of the card ''manufacturers'' little more than ...

I would like to upgrade my motherboard and CPU to the following;http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103774http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130068   My main concern is the compatibility with Ubuntu.  Will it be 100% compatible?

When I installed Ubuntu I manually set up the partitions and in the instructions it said I only had to have two partitions, one for swap and the main one.  I am running two Seagate hard drives both 250GB's. Here are my partitions so far in the correct sequence. First HD:  Windows XP (30GB),  Linux main (30GB), ...
