Connecting with Ubuntu

I just got finished building my newest desktop and am setting up a dual boot with Ubuntu and WinXP. I set up the WinXP, basicaly only the usual problems. Then set up Ubuntu 7.10, slick as glass. WinXP COULD NOT see my LAN, my sound card and several other devices, until I fed it the CD that came with the motherboard. Ubuntu set itself up, recognized and installed everything with no intervention from me. Even though the MB manufacturer (ASUS) also provided Linux drivers, they weren't needed. Then I upgraded to 8.04 when it came out..again, point, click, answer a couple of questions, go for a walk, done. I'm still fighting WinXP, now starting the SIXTH reinstall to try to get it to working acceptably. (And yes, I have the Microsoft issued SP2 disk.) One more try and then I'm simply deleting the WinXP and goining pure Ubuntu.

It's not like I don't know how to use multiple operating systems...this is the 26th I've used in my life!
