OK, Vmware, ethernet, samba, apache, to go. OK, set VLC to use ALSA, startup skype with with or without padsp, and it works.

I am running Hardy 64 bit, with a VLC stream running using Pulse Audio. I recently moved from Ubuntu 8.10 which had massive audio issues, and stability problems with compiz. I originally had PCLinuxOS, but it doesn't really support AMD 64. I have to ask, why is the audio so terrible with Ubuntu? And not to complain about a free product - the Nvidia server didn't install from synaptic under 8.4, I had to get the driver from their site to get it working properly. In 8.10, it wouldn't allow me to setup a static IP address for ethernet, VMWare wouldn't install without a patch, Samba setup is not exactly obvious, and the sound continually just died, and Beryl would occasionally just stop working. 8.4 seems to be much more stable. I am very unhappy with 8.10. They should warn people. Doesn’t work for me unless all my sounds are off in my system.
