Hellow world wee wee bee !
I was wondering for those who use Linux on their PC, what distri do you use ?
I just find out that the new ati catalyst driver (12.4) finally support CPU/GPU switching for AMD/ATI card. It's great. I'm running under Linux Lint 13 (Mate edition) 64 bits atm after I tried many distri. I think it's pretty well optimized, light, sober and fully fonctionnal for what I use. I can finally use my crazy radeon HD 6490M.
For those who are curious of what it looks like :

ps : I use debian 32 bits on both servers ;)
and it would be nic eif you post some screenshots of your desktop ... :)

I just woke up
otherwise do it with unetbootin on an USB-Stick
Still think the best thing about linux is Amarok! The windows 'version' isn't quite the same :(
Since I was planning to buy a new computer I didn't bother to download newer version but unfortunatly the plan has changed and now I'm stuck with this old distribution and crapy XP on my netbook :D
The mate stuff you are using is basically a gnome2 fork, no? Can you recommend it? Read a bit about but it seemed like it was still having too many issues / requiring too much work to be actually worth it.
xubuntu 12.04 LTS x64 on Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. My mother is using that for facebook,google and youtube etc. I have cronjob for update and upgrade so i don't have to bother with software maintenance, and no maintanace regarding spyware/adware/virus. Wasted a lot of time doing that when she was working on Windows 7.
