[nflug] Mame Distribution

[Mark Musone]

p.s. you're totally  right. It was my bad for not reading the release notes.
I guess I'm used to a lot of distros that have a nice big "how to choose
what version is right for me". But it was totally my bad. I did google for
things like "ubuntu server workstation differences" "ubuntu server
workstation compare"..etc..and got no hits.

Definitely thanks for the pointer.

When you go to download it says it pretty much the first thing:

"Downloading Ubuntu

      Ubuntu is easy to download. You can download a CD image and burn 
it yourself using a CD writer. You can download the ISO file directly, 
or join the Torrent by downloading the equivalent .torrent file from the 
download site of your choice. The download of a single ISO CD image is 
around 700MB.

Ubuntu 6.06

The following download sites are available; please choose the one 
closest to you. A site in the same country is usually best, if one is 
available. For space requirements and other information, *please see the 
Release Notes" <https://www.ubuntu.com/download/releasenotes/606>
*
and they are also right on the right-hand side of the page.

dpkg-reconfigure is just going to do the same reconfigurations the 
package does when installed. For install dpkg-reconfigure 
linux-image-`uname -r` will create a new initrd image.

Why can't you just add nvidiafb to /etc/modules?
