Games are great. <strong>Freecol</strong>, <strong>Tremulous</strong>, <strong>Nexuiz</strong> are just a few of the games that are NOT simple. Where were you trying to look for games? Yes there are simple games, but again, there are also complex games. It depends what you want, what you're looking for and becoming familiar with either Synaptic (and the like) or "aptitude install" (and the like).Also, there are a group of kids down the street that have a LAN gaming party (Nexuiz) each Friday evening (and they are really good!). In my opinion, to dismiss Ubuntu as only good for music and work is just <strong>unfair</strong>, and very <strong>misinformed</strong>.Side note: It's named "Ubuntu" not "Ubantu". ;) @Mostafa

After install I could not connect to the internet. I noticed that my wireless device is turned off. In Ubuntu I cannot turn it on, but in windows it turn on fine. I have a HP zd7000 laptop with a built in wireless device, also my printers are wireless. Any suggestions on enabeling the wireless device in Ubuntu? I installed Ubuntu 9.04.
