Hey guys, recently I saw a video on youtube about ubuntu and XGL installed, it's like windows aero for vista, but 10x cooler and better looking, and alot of people say they get it to work fine with low system specs

I ran Beryl on my laptop with integrated graphics, it ran very well for what it did, but was a little sluggish.

I was wondering, has anyone used ubuntu linux on their PC's? Is it just as good or better than xp/vista?

It's different, which may be better depending on your needs.

I really like it but I dont know if i want to relearn how the operating system works, because I am a XP/vista nerd and know just about everything in it, well linux is completly different so is it easy to learn to use and fix?

No, it's not as simple to get into, however the community is a lot more supportive.

I have a laptop with a 64mb video card and 512mb ram which i am thinking of using with ubuntu linux, oh and if you use ubuntu, can you tell me if Wine works with renegade?

I haven't tried, but I believe people have had success with Cedega.

it's a windows emulator that lets you install windows PC games and run them on linux, I was wondering if renegade runs fine with it, thanks.

WINE stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator". It's a library, not a virtual environment.

I would say run ubuntu inside VMWare for a week and try to set it all up as you want. The first week is by far the most painful, after that it's much easier.
