Woohoo! I’ve just installed Ubuntu

I’ve just updated the previous post, but I’ll say it again:

Woohoo! I’ve just successfully installed Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.

Here’s how:

Updated the BIOS to the latest version (08 August 2003)
Ran the Live CD
Used GParted to manually delete the current partitions
Ran the Ubuntu installer
Er…
That’s it!

It’s now installing 186 updates … Woohoo!

Now … what Microsoft software is available for it? I much prefer Microsoft software to any of that homemade stuff. They’re a proper company and everything.

😉

p.s. I’m only teasing. I love Open Source software.

Yeah, and for all else there’s Wine 😉

I presume with that you just download the Water package and then say some special Linux-style prayers and it magically turns to Wine. 😉

Haha yes, didn’t we tell you the Linux is Christian 😛

well done son, some proper techy geek-ness going on there!
