linux and more linux
Last week I spent time getting Linux installed on my desktop in tandem with Windows. I have to say that Ubuntu Linux is absolutely a breeze to install and nothing went wrong at all. It is flexible, everything worked the way it said it would and in 30 minutes tops, the whole operation was done.
So, tonight I decided to download the Ubuntu Netbook Remix and get that working. It’s pretty much as easy as the desktop to install, the only difference is that you have to make a bootable USB drive for the installer to go on. I booted from the USB stick, installed and was up and on the internet in about 20 minutes. There was a bit of fiddling getting the brightness set, but I’ll have to read up on it to find a solution.
On both machines I very impressed with Ubuntu and the effort that they have made to make the install and setup user friendly with lots of help. I’ll definitely be recommending it to anyone who’s interested.
