    Congrats and good luck tonight on this. I may be asleep before you decide to hang it up for the night, your new toy and all. You got it made in the shade. (Thx for your feedback on the Dell ... I only posted that to make you feel guilty about the 76 you got ...)

          ... and GParted Live CD supports GPT, also. You can create a GPT disk (e.g., try it on a flash drive).

          GParted enables you to easily manage your disk partitions:
          • Create partition tables, (e.g., msdos or gpt)

            Hey Vinny, fire up Stellairum and tell me what FPS you get. I get 30, sometimes more. I'm running the i915 driver (nouveau) and it works pretty well on most HiRes graphics. Universe Sandbox2 gives me 60 fps max and drops to 30 or so when I have lots of objects flying around. My GTX 650M is not selectable in BIOS so I would have to use Bumblebee/Optimus to run graphical apps. It turned out that Nouveau worked just as fast as Optimus.

                  60 FPS is the vertical sync rate, probably the max. Is your display set on "auto" or fixed at "60 Hz"?

                    ya it's kinda nice ..........

                    OK so kubuntu is in now , Weeee

                    installed to /sda3 with a USB-3 Kubuntu-14.04-Liveusb in a USB-3 port(they all are) no downloading of extra packages or updates during the install .
                    Grub installed to /sda3 so as not to mess with Ubuntu's grub.
                    It was the quickest install I have ever done ,,,,,,,,,realy not 3min after I finished the , timezone , keyboard layout , user info, part of the install it was done .
                    Restarted opend a terminal and
                    Code:
                    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
                    300+ updates later we reboot 1 more time .
                    All is well ,,,,,start playing around ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
                    Noview or whatever the default graphics driver for Nvidia is was not cutting it .
                    their was no GL and my favorite effect 3D cube was not working .
                    The "driver manager" in system settings was not offering me anything (maby the card is to new)
                    So ,,,,,, added the system76 PPA and installed
                    Code:
                    vinny@vinny-Bonobo-Extreme:~$ apt show system76-driver-nvidia
                    Package: system76-driver-nvidia
                    Source: system76-driver

                    Maintainer: System76, Inc. <dev@system76.com>
                    Version: 14.04.10

                    Conflicts: nvidia-current-updates

                    APT-Sources: http://ppa.launchpad.net/system76-dev/stable/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
                    Description: Latest nvidia driver for System76 computers
                     This dummy package depends on the latest driver tested with and recommended for
                     System76 products with an nvidia GPU.
                     .
                     When this package is installed, you will automatically be upgraded to newer
                     nvidia driver versions after System76 has thouroughly tested them.
                     .
                     This driver will generally depend on a newer nvidia driver than the official
                     nvidia-current-updates Ubuntu package.
                     .
                     If you don't want to be automatically upgraded to newer nvidia drivers, simply
                     remove this package.
                    it installed nicly and I saw dkms build it's modules ,,,,,,so I am somewhat at ease about the Nvidia thing




                    now off to build my system up to how I like it ..........................

                          Noticed this on the Ubuntu side...



                          Purge the package unity-scope-home to get rid of the Canonical-Amazon spyware.
