Recently I had been looking into upgrading my home computer so that I could look at Vista. Well after buying two different video cards, I was able to finally get to use Vista with full abilities. It did not make sense to me to have a crippled OS so I got an ATI Radeon 1650 Pro card. My computer finally scored a 4, up from a 2 in the performance rating. I also found out, with my motherboard, I should be able to drop a new processor like an AMD x2 or FX processor with no work except updating the bios. This made me happy, as I thought it was going to take a new motherboard to get to new processor architectures. The thing I like the most in Vista so far is their Parental Controls. This is a feature that should have been added during one of the XP service packs. I also have been trying to get Fedora 6 to install in a Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 environment and finally was able to accomplish that. It seems to run slow, but I have not really done anything with it. To install, it was necessary to use the “linux text” install option. Then it was necessary to modify the xorg.conf file and change the color depth to 16. I also changed the video card to “vesa” in the xorg.conf file and that supplied more video resolutions to choose from. I also changed the option to have gdm start during bootup, as I am very visually orientated due to using windows for so long.
