marksteele 0 Posted January 22, 2008 ive tried Ubuntu and ive tried Xp (haven't tried Vista, don't wanna ether). my advice would depend on what u want to use the comp for. If its for work like documents and spreadsheets go with Ubuntu but if you want games then go with XP as most games are in-compatible with ubuntu Share this post Link to post
