After my third attempt in the last three years and a day wasted on scouring the web forums, UBUNTU rules. I installed the latest addition to the Linux universe on my personal desktop. Despite a harebrained installation glitch (you are asked to name the computer, whcih locks its networking capablities–the mistake was not not mine, it was theirs!), here I am, surfing the web onboard an M1A1 Abrams tank (or this is what I should feel like, if I were to believe Neil Stephenson’s In the beginning was the command line…). The interface is nice, but a little chunky… I hope the preformance will be as high as the noise around this distro seems to be (see me earlier entry about the BUZZ GAME)
I’ll have to check back to see how your Ubuntu desktop fares. The fate of my install is as yet undecided; it depends how stable it remains over the next few days.
