| 483743 | 2006-09-10 11:19:00 | I've recently custom built a pc, with no OS, i don't wanna spend 2 much on a OS, cause i want a Vista. Any solutions? Is Linux any good? | WestMclaren2004 (7303) | ||
| 483744 | 2006-09-10 11:42:00 | Depends on what you use your computers for. Vista wont be cheap (especially you would need a full installtion as you dont have a former MS OS to upgrade from). XP OEM cd might be what you want. |

Should only cost you the price of a blank CD plus shipping. They should install with about the same level of dificulty as Windows (that is to say really easily) and will be internet and network ready assuming it picks up your hardware which it should. :nerd: |

| 483749 | 2006-09-11 07:11:00 | Can someone tell me how to get the Firefox browser in Ubuntu to work on the Xtra server? I have a D-Link DSL-G604T wireless modem and 4 port router. I can ping the help desk but this is as far as it gets. The Xtra help desk tells me they only support Windows. | PENTIUM (426) | ||
