Ok im thinking of ordering a second HDD so i can duel boot linux. The thing is, i have a few questions. I have tried up to date 3 linux distro's, Mandriva One. Ubuntu and Mint. I find that mint is a good one, I liked ubuntu but it was a little fiddly and but it did have the top bar that I liked whilst Mint doesn't but mint comes with all the music codecs and add ons etc. What I was wanting to know was.
1) How do i connect my wirless network to my linux, the only way I could do it with ubuntu was by ethernet, in which case I had to take my pc downstairs.
2) How do I get the desktop effects to work, I tried enabling them but nothing happened, I have a Nvidia Geforce 7600 GT so I should be able to handle the graphics.
3) I was thinking of using wine in it, does wine support msn messanger and do I install windows apps just the same as I would on windows if I am running wine?
