I am in the fits-and-starts stages of installing ubuntu Linux on our old Dell laptop. There are some video settings I need to tinker with and I then I will have to work through getting the correct wireless settings (read: headaches), but overall I am excited at the low-end geekiness of this project.
I’ve been doing a lot of reading about Linux, specifically Ubuntu, and came across a good “layman’s take” on the newest Ubuntu release, version 8.04 (the Hardy Heron). I kinda love how the releases have names as well as version numbers.
In “The Great Ubuntu-Girlfriend Experiment” the guy installs Hardy Heron on a computer and asks his girlfriend to perform a series of tasks without any of his help. It’s a good read.
