I've got my pc dual booting (well its actually like quintruple booting to 4 versions of winows as well) ubuntu 8.04 now and its mighty shiney.
We've also put it on 3 pcs at work for internet use.
The pcs at work have nvidia 6800 XT's and my pc has an ATI 4870 x2.
On all of them I have compiz fusion running for teh 3d cube-age and nice effects.
I also have wine which im pretty impressed with how well that works.
Unfortunatley I ahve to disable desktop effects because of the current ati drivers interaction with the kernel if i want to use any 3d app, whereas this needn't be done at work.
I was gunna ask if anyones ever used it before what cool stuff i should install, and if anbody knows how to get a 4870x2 to succesfully render games:P. (WOW comes up with everything being very shadowy as its obviously not rendered most of the stuff and cs:s runs smooth but has spikes and artifacts everywhere and all you can see is the gun....)
