Ubuntu: Anyone running dual video card and monitors

Re: Ubuntu: Anyone running dual video card and monitors
XP is ok, but it's old. There's no reason that it's functionally better than Vista. The only grief I have with vista is that you can't drag files into a cd folder and burn a data cd that will play in a car. That's it so far, and I've been running it for months.

To any of you talking about how horrible Vista is, who's used it since SP1, or even at all?
It does use more resources than XP. But, XP uses more than win2k, win2k uses more than 98, 98 uses more than 95, 95 uses more than 3.1, 3.1 uses more than DOS............etc
Ram is cheap as ---- like rawr said. I have 4 x 2gb sticks of "high quality performance ram" for $100. You can probably get 8gb of decent ram for $50, it's not expensive.
Win7 is even better than Vista with resources since everyone's whining about it. They had a beta running smoothly on a dinky netbook only using around 200mb of ram...

Alright. To take this in another direction. What dual screen supporting OS Flava would you guys recommend for web-browsing and media viewing? Looking for efficiency and stability

I would just get a 1 video card that supports dual monitors.

For video cards if you're using linux I will suggest nvidia card based. Stay away for any ati cards, linux support suck *****.

Differents people, differents taste, prepare to receive bunch of differents answers too. Currently using fedora with a dual screen at work and found it pretty stable. At home everything is gentoo powered.
