All the drivers are supported by Linux?

By default Ubuntu support most of hardware, sometimes there is problems with nevest drivers of some atheros wireless chipsets, but seems with latest ubuntu release there is no problem with this even. So by default ubuntu install most or probably even all drivers from CD.

And it will download all the updates required. If there are drivers missing, go to the ubuntu forum, its really really really good, you will find all the help you want there.

Dudes, whats the best virutalization software for Ubuntu 9.04? I plan to virtualize windows 7 so i can play games.

Better to run two OS on hdd, with boot manager. Virtualized environment very bad for games (especially 3D).
