  Dear all,

I have a VAIO VPCF115FM with a 1G Nvidia Gforce GT 330 with CUDA.

Furthermore, I'm going to post in this thread but I will add some
questions and concerns.

I am new to GNU/Linux but I have read about this OS for sometime.

I have always been amazed by the arguments of security and efficiency in
hardware resources. Which I have been seen it.  They are true.

Nevertheless, I have always think that this OS is for computer wizards
or people who have lot of time to spend going around commands.  I am not
neither of both, I am an epidemiologist and a father.

Furthermore, I need something easy to understand, reliable, efficient
and secure.

Since W-Vista came to the market and for other important personal
reasons have been more interested in this OS

Nevertheless, now that I have had to deal with some problems and I will
like to have some help and to decide if GNU/Linux is for me. The distro
that I have is Ubuntu 10.10.

Very nice Gnome, I like many of the features. Nice work. BUT!!!!

As other post in this thread I can not use the power of my gpu and as
others I try to install the Nvidia web site driver and I get the black
screen.

Following an on-line help I destroy all the partitions deleting Windows
7 Home Premium (still a Resources Guzzler) all components that Sony
installed with it. I did not made a recovery disk.  “My bad” or probably
was good. Iĺl know with your help.

Then, I re-install Ubuntu try to do some complicated things posted here
but did not worked for me and I really do not have time for more.

I have confronted other problems such as computer freeze, I can not use
the Blu-Ray (I read about the reasons but still sucks).

Other concern that I have is if Sony release a firmware or software to
fix some bug in the computer configuration such as an actual overheating
problem how do I install this on Ubuntu? It is necessary?

Windows 7 could be many things but my computer ran smoothly.

I belief in the open source community, I use open source software's but
what I do with an OS that is not working right out of the box for me.
Do I install other distro? Or earlier releases?  What I do?

I would not want to go back but I need help in understand what is
happening or let me know if is better to  buy a recovery disk for W7.

Thanks for your time and Regards
