Ubuntu (Linux)

Well I’ve been trying out Ubuntu for the past couple of days because I’m looking for a good OS to swap with Windows as I’m beginning to get bored of it, so I ordered a couple of Ubuntu live CD’s which was also a installation CD which I was very chuffed about so I could surf the net while I was installing Ubuntu which I loved.

Connecting to the internet: This was so easy it auto detected my hardware when I put the CD in it didn’t tell me or anything and I was instantly connected to the internet. So I started the installation while I was talking to a couple of my friends using ‘Gaim’ so I thought this is brilliant Microsoft should do something like this!

Configuring you’re settings: this was a really annoying part for me, I was stuck with the default setting I couldn’t go any higher I asked on Ubuntu Forum’s and it wouldn’t work, I tried it several times and I ended up with a blank screen on boot.

Overall it is perfect for newbie’s to Linux auto detection of hardware brilliant, configuring it was hard but then again I don’t really expect people to mess about with them.
