Installing Linux

ChadTower:

By your age you should know how to handle your own package pretty well.

Variety is the spice of life.

Just as a two finger salute to microsoft for the trouble windows has brought me over the years, I installed linux on the original 8GB hard drive from my xbox (now has a 160 gig hd) which now runs my internet box flawlessly. This brings me to three conclusions:

1. My anarchist streak is thankfully still alive and well

2. I really need to get out more  ;)

3. microsofts development of windows has merely bloated and overcomplicated development of most users operating system.

And yes, please feel free to put in a point 4 guys  :)

I like FreeBSD better. That's what we use for our webservers. I'm not sure if it's any good for desktops though.

In the university we used Minix (for our OS programming classes), but that was because the Prof who wrote it worked there.

When I use Linux, I use Ubuntu. I know very little of command line UNIX, and ubuntu doesn't require a lot of that. Plus, the support forums are top-notch. Very helpful people there.
Glaine, the only thing I can think of is that you computers may not be up to spec. IIRC, Ubuntu 6.06 and up need a lot of RAM and HDD space
