Are there any bad side effects to removing HAL?
I claim total ignorance on the subject.

Maybe they will get some better wireless card support.

Maybe they will get some better wireless card support. Yah, that's been the sticking point for me too. Wireless. I had experimented with v7.04 & v7.10 and the WiFi was spotty at best, then finally got it working reliably with an app called "WiCD" (I think it was called that?) ... then like an idiot immediately upgraded to v8.04 when it came out, and BOOM!, no more WiFi ... even WiCD wouldn't work properly anymore (greyed out options and such). At that point I abandoned Ubuntu and went back to ol' reliable XP.
Until they work out that WiFi bug, not touching Ubuntu again

I am looking for a version I can put on my computer without a lot of work. I had a copy and down loaded and it would not work.

Maybe playable through WINE, but Linux isn’t a gaming OS (unless you are into emulators).
I really like Linux on my laptop (it replaced Vista and I have no regrets) but on my gaming rig... no way, no how would I install it.

Try Mint, been running it for many weeks. Easy, stable and fun.

I had a huge headache involving lost wireless with the Inspiron I bought for my pop running Ubuntu 9.04.
The solution turned out to be simply rebooting the modem & router.

What I ment was I could download it without doing a Install over XP. Is that possible with Mint?

I've had a lot of good luck running this inexpensive no-name brand of 802.11g/n (draft) card under Ubuntu 8.x. Its Atheros chip is very Linux-friendly.
