Personally though, i do not think its ubuntu at fault since i get the same with 7 and xp. might be worth noting im runing x64 buntu? besides, i think its down to software versions mlre than anything since i heard certain versions of fpc4nds work with certain revs from devkit...

besides all that buntu 10.10 is simply outstandimg i doubt yoh will want to go back, i hqd to move from win but ubuntu made painless so yay.
