unfortunately my hardware doesn't support virtualization, so no OSX )= which means no untethered jailbreak D= i gota wait like a windows user \=
virtualbox is a life saver. i can sync my ipad, and work on school projects without ever leaving the comfort of my ubuntu desktop. i still use cs4 in wine when i want to work in ubuntu tho
how about Linux Mint LMDE... how's that compared to Linux... now that's a Linux that works everything out of the box... mp3, mp4, avi... everything is playing straight from the live cd... ubuntu, not soo much!
I found myself with this same setup in early 2009. I used it for about a year, i had ubuntu 9.04 running with xp pro in virtualbox.
Firstly, i do think ubuntu is great to customize, it's the best OS for that by far imo. I think really it's the only reason i used it for so long. I found that anything i couldn't do on ubuntu, i could do on xp in virtualbox - which was cool - until i realised that i could infact do EVERYTHING in windows - and have no need to return to ubuntu!
It just didn't make any sense to me to keep using virtualbox every time ubuntu couldn't do something for me - when in the reverse situation (using windows), this problem didn't exist. So i gave it up and found one of the great pirated versions of win7 ultimate and installed that, along with a pirated copy of CS5 and office 2007. LOVELY!
If you're having fun with ubuntu, that's all that's important, we all reach our own conclusions as to what works best for us - so i won't pretend to think i know best!
and with another theme, i put the details in comments there - [link]
Seeing your pics makes me wanna go and play with ubuntu again, i have 10.10 fresh installed on a spare HDD, but i never got around to setting it up - i think i'll be doing that now!
what i like the most about linux is that basically everything is free and open source. i don't have to buy or find pirate software every time i want to preform an advanced function. and on ubuntu almost everything i want or need is simply there from the start. and to top it off i don't have run multiple programs all day every in an effort to prevent viruses. (you really don't need to do that on windows either but still)
Fair enough mate, i agree with you really. Being chained to windows freaking sucks, i know enough people who gotta work on win xp with ie6 all day, fortunately i'm not one of them!
agreed. i really like virtualbox. i don't feel a significant performance problem, and if you autohide the taskbar and maximize the window it may as well be another app on your ubuntu desktop
