Not just that but it's supported by a larger community.


@F1.Zero
Nvidia GTX 550 Ti and I'm not using it as a primary OS, trying to install alongside Win7. As for you comment about any OS should do well yes I know it's just that it saves me the time of having to compile all those tools.


**sorry for thread jacking Axon.

That would be fine if I could only have access to a GUI but the problem is that i can't get the OS to boot. Selecting boot a method just takes me to a prompt where it freezes halfway through extraction and it's always that "fb: conflicting" error. None of the instructions state a form of entering the cmos where i can blacklist the driver. Also doesn't elaborate on how I can install the driver without access to the kernel. If anybody has found a solution to this I could really use step by step instructions.


thanks in advance.

Didn't bother to memorize it since it could be something I'm doing wrong. I've tried installing Nodezero, Backbox, Backtrack 5, and Ubuntu 10.04 alongside Windows 7 but on a different HDD. My main problem is having only one monitor so every time I try to solve the issue I have to reboot into windows, delete all the partitions the failed install left, google for a while, and retry all over again.

Backbox installs but boots into CMOS Grub leaving me lost.
Nodezero gives me an install error half way through the installation.
Backtrack 5 is giving me the "fb: conflicting fb hw usage nouveaufb vs VESA VGA" then stays stuck there. (no clue how to fix the driver issue)
Ubuntu Natty just sucks.

I've installed Linux before but without Windows 7.
