Hopefully the address is correct, Alias.
If I am not mistaken, a couple of weeks ago you asked for my notification in this case and here it is: My CD from "Ubuntu" has arrived and earlier as they projected, but as you already had suggested. Will have to decide the best way to install it on my machine with an 80BG HD, partitioned into C,D,E and F, with C=20, D=15, E=15 and F=30 GB's. E&F are completely free right now. Maybe you or someone else here has a profitable idea. The CD with "Linux" OS on it was mailed to me for free all the way from Africa and to everyone's information here, I would like to mention the meaning of the word "Ubuntu", it is: "Humanity To Others". In addition I am free to edit, copy or distribute the CD as I would wish. What an enormous generosity. Thanks for pointing me to it, Alias. Harry. |

Insert the Ubuntu CD before you leave the BIOS. You can then take a live tour without installing it and see how you like it. It will also check out your PC for compatibility. I would recommend installing it on second hard drive because, that way, if one drive goes, you still have the other and don't lose both OSes simultaneously. Alias |

I can't wait for Harry's first post on the install. eg
But seriously, 'nix distros have improved tremendously and what with MS making it so hard and difficult to license, run, and maintain a desktop at home, the door is not open to their ultimate demise as the predominant home/home office OS. Right now there's some kid in their parents' basement/garage who hasn't bathed in days working on this ... smell it ?

Let you know how I made out, when the time comes. Muchos gracias (did I say that right?) Almost, Harry.....try *abrazos y besos grandes*......Alias might like that. Chuckle....see Loon?? Spanish comes in handy. As well as French. Mind you, that phrase is what a cousin in Espana always says to me and I think it is kind of sweet. OH.....Harry....forgot to mention that WinME does NOT like that MRU program that Shane is talking about. I tried it and had to take it off back in the olden days. Cheers......Figgs |
