Can we get a computer subforum?

I use (X)Ubuntu but I can't get rid of window$ completely. There is the hardware issue, for example my GPU was not supported by Ubuntu 8.04 and most other distros at the time. There is still an issue with flash not working properly on x64 machines. And then of course there are games that I might want to play occasionally.

This is not true... Flash works just fine on my 8.10 Ubuntu 64 bit machine... I think Adobe has released Flash for 64 bit machines...

Thanks ! now flash seems to work fine.

At first, I thought the idea of a section on computers would simply not fit on this forum because it has absolutely nothing to do with the movement, but on the other hand its a great deversion that keeps peoples interest. It also keeps unrelated posts from the general section.

Maybe merge it with Internet stuff... like Youtube basics... etc.  And promoting JTF.. etc
