cameronp29 · 08-28-2007, 02:41 AM

can anyone suggest a good, fast, free OS. Most likely a linux but open to everything. I need something thats compatible with an 802.11 wireless card. I want to install the OS and begin surfing the web wirelessly.

thanks

Hi,

I don't know, but Ubuntu didn't work at me too, it gave me a lot of errors :s Try Mandriva! it works perfect.

Funny... Ubuntu works PERFECTLY with my wireless card... Theres an icon in the top right! I just dbl click and it asks for key, and bam! Im connected =]

You can try SUSE linux... Its quite good.
