JonMCC33, how about Kubuntu -- does that work for you?

I'm constantly amazed at how many different Linux distros there are, how many flavors of each distro, and how Linux advocates quarrel with each other over which are better. It's like the People's Front of Judea -- the only thing they hate worse than the Romans is the Judean People's Front. :-)
I really don't like KDE, Gnome or Xfce is far better IMO. But that is the beauty of Linux is it not? The ability to chose your shell. It may be harder to customise than Windows, but there are far more options when you work out what you are doing.
That said, my main PC will remain Windows[1] only. Don't get me wrong I like Linux, and am really getting to grips with it since buying an Acer Aspire One[2] but I like my gaming hassle free.
I might put Ubuntu 8.10 on my old laptop at the weekend to see what it is like, and then may dual boot it on my second box[3] with XP.
[1] Vista Home Premium
[2] and got rid of that stupid netbook GUI they put on it
[3]When I get around to building the thing out of the parts I have left over from various upgrades that is.
Does anyone know if the 71 and 96 series of proprietart nVidia drivers, which are provided by nvidia-glx-legacy and nvidia-glx (used for nVidia TNT, TNT2, TNT Ultra, GeForce, GeForce2, GeForce3, and GeForce4) are compatible with the X.Org included in Ubuntu 8.10 yet? I honestly haven't used Ubuntu since I upgraded because of this issue.
