I am impressed!
So, I had this old P5P800-VM Mobo with a P4-640 in a box. I also had a EDIMAX EW-7128G wireless PCI card. I installed Ubunto 8.10. It all works! I did not install any drivers. No graphics card. The system automatically found my wireless card and my router. Great stuff! Now I need to find out how to play DVD movies.

Ubuntu is good like that. As for playing dvd's, open a terminal and enter this command:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

Thanks for the reply. gstreamer does not seem to work. I get " error reading from resource". perhaps I am not using it correctly?
