RE[3]: Built & Running!

in reply to "RE[2]: Built & Running!"
In my case it was because I bought a laptop and no ATI option was available for my model. Intel Integrated Graphics are the only cards guaranteed to work 100% on all operating systems(not just those NVIDIA bothers to support) with quality(this rules ATI out) open source drivers. They also run with little power and don't build up heat at all. Unless you are a hardcore gamer, you don't need anything better - simple games will work. And if you are, you aren't running non-Windows OSes in the first place.

Rather than get an Intel why not get an ATI (especially if you want decent 3D). I have a Radeon HD 4870 and it works very well under Ubuntu. ATI's driver support was terrible in the past, but in the last few months they've stepped it up a few notches. Kudos to them.
