Ubuntu …easy
Folks !
Yesterday I installed Ubuntu 6.10.
Honestly I didn’t tought that will be so easy !!!!
First I really like the concept of LiveCD install.
The installation process is entirly made by GUI. I would not mind if it wasn’t. It’s just to have. Any newbies should me able to make the installation.
The video card was automatically detected and installed. The drivers are working just fine !
What’s really impress me is the network stuff. I can see my Windows2k server and I didn’t done any special configuration.
For the now Ubuntu rock. !
