I used to be a died-in-the-wool RedHat/CentOS/Fedora kind of gal, but recently started playing with Ubuntu, specifically Feisty Fawn (where DO they get these cutesy names?), actually the version of Feisty Fawn called "Ubuntu Studio 7.04".. I've been looking for a distro that packaged everything needed for video/image/sound editing.. It appears that this is THAT distro, in my opinion.. The install was a piece of cake, and everything just-worked, including VMWare server AND SecondLife, once I installed the restricted nvidia video driver.. Now to the one item that is a pain in the neck.. I have a dual monitor setup, with an NVidia GeForce7100 video card. When I first installed the "restricted" Nvidia driver, and tested the SL client for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised that it worked great.. but of course it defaulted to single monitor.. I ran the nvidia-config panel, and switched to "twin-view", which worked ok, and for the first couple of times, SL also worked.. However, recently SL has developed the dreaded "can't create window" error when I try to start it. I've since switched back to original (single-screen) config by copying back my original xorg.conf file.. Is there some magic incantation I'm missing to get both dual screen AND SL working at the same time??
