update...
had installed Ubuntu 11.10 (64 bit) on my daughter's HTPC... its my 1st time to use linux distribution OS... my 1st impression is that, this OS is nice... for me, its almost the same as an android... the only driver during the installation that was needed from the 3rd party is that of the GPU... the system downloaded automatically the linux drivers from AMD's site... set up was a breeze. once my mini-ITX project will be up & running, i'll install again Ubuntu's 64 bit OS on that PC... full HD movies (1080P) are playin' great!
it is very exciting to have a new experience on this new OS for me...
yes bro, working tanan peripherals including the WIFI dongle (150Mbps) and the blue tooth dongle w/c i bought dha sa CDR king last year... no issues whatsoever sa tanan installed HW sa HTPC... kun mo dagan lang tanan games ug apps sa other 2 desktops nako, lami i-migrate tanan sa Ubuntu... hehehe...
full hd movies, music, skype ug browsing the net ra ang application sa HTPC nako bro... para ni sa akoang anak. na adik man sya sige'g tan-aw ug downloaded movies so, nag DIY lang ko dri aning HTPC nya... old technology ra ni pero, ok gyud kaayo for its intended application. para ma free ug magamit ang PC sa balay for general computing and games...
nag install ra man ko ug VLC gabi-i... after na install ang driver sa GPU (ASUS EAH5450 Silent)... smooth as silk ang dagan nya sa mga full hd movies... unlike atong wala pa ma install ang driver, naa'y dropped frames na mabantayan nato.
by the way, Win 7 (64 bit) ang OS ani nya until last night. suway2x ra to nako ang Ubuntu 64 bit (11.10)... at 1st, nag try ra ko sa CD pero, gi ganahan man ko... so, akoang gi format ang HDD then akoang gi install ang Ubuntu for a fresh install... then kuri2x dayon after... 3 am na ko naka tulog... nindotan ra ko sa Ubuntu kay new experience man nko ni sa pag gamit ug linux distribution OS...
