Are you able to connect to their repositories to download any softwares? Last time I tried it things were hopeless, I could not download anything off their servers.

I haven't seen any such equivalent softwares but there's a benchmarking suite called phoronix test suite[1] which conducts some basic tests like compiling software, drawing patterns using opengl. You can conduct the tests using this suite and compare benchmarks. I haven't used it extensively to conclusively say how good it is though. > If you train me on installing skype with voice and / or video, I will remove > windows from my home PC and install ubuntu. Well you can install latest version of skype from the ubuntu repositories. I believe it is not available in official repositories so you will have to check the documents for installation procedure. You can check ubuntu help page[2] for further details. 1. http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/ 2. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype PS:- please start a new mail instead of replying to or reusing old mails if you want to start new queries. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
