New to install kubuntu 9.04_DVD

[Guest]

Hello all i am new to install kubuntu 9.04 in my system my system configuration is intel core2duo processor with 2.53 Ghz, With 4GB RAM, 500GB Hard Disk and Biostar G31 mother board with 256MB inbuilt graphics card. Is my system is able to run the os perfectly. And also i have one doubt that is the os is able to play audio,vedio and graphics because there are no drivers for linux for my motherboard. And also can i use the os as simple as windows? How can i install extra softwares in this os?

Yes

And also i have one doubt that is the os is able to play audio,vedio and graphics because there are no drivers for linux for my motherboard

Linux has many drivers built in and you won't need to install them (many) separately.

And also can i use the os as simple as windows?

If you spend as much time to learn Linux, as you have spent learning Windows - Yes.

How can i install extra softwares in this os?

Much of the extra software can be downloaded and installed automatically using the Package Manager.

Look at:
1) "Kubuntu Guide" on http://kubuntuguide.org/Jaunty
2) "The Linux Starter Pack" at http://www.tuxradar.com/linuxstarterpack
3) "Useful Tips for newbies go here " - the "sticky" at the top of this page - http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3228.0
4) And in the case of problems - "Top 20 Kubuntu FAQs & Answers" at http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3099811.0 ...and come back here...

I read audio\video\graphics so I think you want to play games also. If so than stay with windows because Linux does not run games. If not than this OS is perfect but but my experience is you need to read a lot of fora, books to get hardware connected.

Linux does not run games

No!!!

Look at e.g. http://www.lgdb.org/ and http://gwos.org/doku.php/start?idx=games and http://www.playdeb.net/welcome/

Linux will play some Windows games e.g. WOW (...but not all). Google: ubuntu [name of game]

... If that is the case (that Linux does not run games), then it seems that i and many others spend much of our time hallucinating... without any chemical assistance.

Edited to add a couple of links.

Linux games ....

Linux does not run games.

You sud hav had a look at here before saying that.

If you mean only windoze games when u said "Linux does not run GAMES" then well, there are few windoze games which do run in linux thru wine. I play Maxpayne in Jaunty under wine and it plays very fine, no flaws.

But you cant just say 'games' when u mean only windoze games... That's not fair as u might hav seen from all the above links.

Some distros even produce Game spin DVD as fedora and archlinux based live linux games, to name few that i know of.

Cheers!!
