An In-Depth Look at Ubuntu 11.04

[OriginalJoeCool]

I'm leaning toward Linux now. I found a book on cross-platform development: http://www.amazon.com/Cross-Platform-Programming-Charles-Development/dp/1584503793. It covers development for PC, Mac, XBox, Playstation 2, and Gamecube, I believe. It is very thorough, while perhaps a teensy bit outdated (published in 2005).

I bought a new router (Linksys E3000) and installed Tomato-USB Ext on it. After enabling SSH, I remembered another thing Windows lacks: an SSH client! Then I proceeded to install PuTTy.

Amen to the problems with AMD / ATI's drivers Linux drivers. I've tried to use it but basically gave up for a fundamental reason. Somehow the drivers screw up the display so that ordinary text becomes hard to read and I see blurred, botched-up text.

BTW, your site is great. I stumbled upon it (not StumbleUpon!) while doing a search for a solution to a sound card problem, which I will post in another thread.

I am running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 11.04 on a system that has the following specs. My problem is with the Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card, which works fine on my dual-boot Windows 7.

Specs:
- Intel Core i7
- 8GB RAM
- Asus Xonar Essence STX
- AMD Radeon HD 5750
- Onboard Intel HDA sound card
- USB Microsoft Lifecam with a microphone
- Edirol USB audio interface (this shows up as one of the audio cards)

The Natty install recognizes the Asus sound card but I cannot get it to play either with the headphones or through the S/PDIF interface to my speakers. I would love to know how to get this to work.
