Hello All,

I installed Kubuntu 7.04 on a Gigabyte 945 motherboard system with Pentium DC 3 GHz. processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB SATA Seagate HDD and Samsung 17 " TFT monitor and Sony DVD writer. .

First I tried the 64 bit live cd but it could not give resolution above 800x600. So the 32 bit version was tried and it gave a full toss 1280 x 1024 resolution. Sound was also up as I got the startup 'ding diding ding ding' sound. Network was up and running too in the ethernet card with triband service. I did not install full MMedia support as the client requires it only for internet. The Microsoft web cam was either not detected or I did not know how to view it as time was short.

The only problem I got was that shut down or restart hangs just at the point of transition between on to off or back to on. Every time I got to press the reset button to release the system.
