New system OS choice
Posted: Fri Mar 07, 2014 1:41 am
Hello there!
So I just picked up a new MoBo and an i7 is in the haus!
For right now, I think I'll just set it up with Ubuntu, but I'm not too familiar with using that flavor of *nix, and most of my tools are for Windows.
So I'm wondering if I should stick with W7 and switch to 64bit, or switch from W7 to W8 64bit?
I would just go with 8, but seeing some threads where W8 seems to be a common denominator has me wondering how happy Handbrake is with W8. I was also wondering if all the CPU features would be supported in 7?
Oh, and any recommendations for reading and writing to NTFS volumes from Ubuntu?
