I had rotated a lot "pre-ubuntu" trying to discover a distribution that works a decade+ before. It was always trying to get the video card (at high res) and wifi dongle to work. Ubuntu just worked out of the box and I was very happy with that. So. Cool. The magic was also the boot live install that also worked. It really was magical. I am using Ubuntu on desktop and a mac via VM now which is also good performance (no need to dual boot), so I think tech in general has come a long way. === Thought someone might be able to help here with something on my mind: 1) smooth mousepad scroll? 2) able to utilize multiple "desktops" (ie: swipe to different desktop). the mac seems to captures the vm as a single application so I can't get multiple desktops other than within the guest vm on a single screen.
