Hi I need your help that's my gamer tag at least , and I've just switched to this beast Ubuntu 7.10 from that crud known as Vista . I was astounded at how it noticed and set up my wireless network , mouse , keyboard and sound card on my Acer Aspire 3690 without hitches , and I have recently stopped dual - booting . I had a bit of trouble setting up ICS with Firestarter , and managed to do it ; but I have a few other problems , which if anyone could , need help to be solved.

1. Do any external sound cards work with Ubuntu? I live in the UK and Maplins has a great offer on one.

2. Are XBOX 360 controllers work with Ubuntu? I play a lot of fighting games , which use a fighting stick for my XBOX , and i'd love to be able to practice some ST on my laptop.

3. I have 2 Lexmark printers , a fairly new Z735 , which with some research i concluded wouldn't work , but I also have a Z617. This prints the Ubuntu test page very well , but i can't print out coursework , homework , essays amongst other things that are black and white

4. Do MS wireless mice and keyboards work with Ubuntu? My parents bought a new computer a few days ago , and gave me the keyboard , as the computer already came with one.

If anyone could help , I would be extremely grateful. I don't know how i would pay back , but I'll definitely start posting things soon , 'im quite good with Graphic design , and GIMP is great

The Sonor 3005 is maple and a good kit. The one i know of for 10 000kr is 2x22x18 basdrums, 10-12-14 toms and 14 snare in maple. basic hardware. Put some money into a extra tom and some good stands and you come in at 20 000 with a great kit

Pretty much the thread title.
I just got a Logitech G19 Keyboard, and could use a few apps to make it even cooler. Please point me to some nice apps, black and white G15, etc. apps are acceptable.

Wow, I didn't understand a bit of this. You guys are makin me feel old.
