Dear Brian, Please forgive me for being such a "newbie" at this business. I did not understand about downloading the Gibbon whatever and testing sound capacity.
I want very much to help out and get my Linux OS working. I got frustrated to the point prior to this most current email of yours that I killed Ubuntu Feisty Fawn and put on Mint 3.0 instead. I'm running Mint 3.0 now. However, my wireless card still does NOT work, and I do NOT have sound in Mint, either. Yesterday I went and bought a new wireless card to match the internet hub thingy that connects all our computers to the internet via comcast. In other words I got a Belkin Wireless n card. I am ready to scream though, because the new Belkin card, a F5D8013 ended up not working either. I then went to the Ubuntu website where you could see if your internet card is supported and I followed to the Belkin page and this new n-wireless card number is NOT even listed on the supported page. I'm assuming that Mint and Ubuntu are interchangeable more or less since Mint is an offshoot (?) of Ubuntu?. Since I now have Mint installed on my Gateway 7330GZ notebook, could you provide me the link to TEST my systems on whatever version of upcoming Mint is in the works, or would Ubuntu testing be good enough? I don't know what questions to ask, and most of this Linux methods of working an OS are all new to me, so please if you aren't already fed up with me, please take my newbie-ness into consideration and pretend I'm totally thickheaded, if need be. There's nothing like getting frustrated by a computer. I would really really like Linux to work for me so I can tell Windows where to go, if you know what I mean, but I'm having so many relatively important issues backup on me with Ubuntu and Mint, too. No sound is lousy and no wireless is, too. Like I mentioned earlier, I have Mint on a dual boot with XP on this machine. On the XP portion of my notebook, wireless and sound are both working fine. I'm thinking of returning this new Belkin N-Wireless card I got because it doesn't work any better than the onboard Broadcom does. Could you recommend a wireless card that you KNOW works. Again, Thank you VERY VERY much for taking time with me On 8/20/07, Brian Murray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What I had hoped you would do is download the latest development release > of Ubuntu, Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 4, from the url I provided you and boot > off that Live CD and see if your sound works with it.
