Default Installing Ubuntu Linux.

I have downloaded and burned the latest version of Ubuntu, and I am now installing it onto my old PC.

I will write a review soon, so keep your eyes peeled!

Default RE: Installing Ubuntu Linux.

Linux is supposed to have the best hardware support.

I have a Ubuntu live CD, and it's honestly great. I just *love* the feeing of not running any anti-**software. You can just feel it.

Default RE: Installing Ubuntu Linux.

I don't like how Ubuntu is formatted. I installed Ubuntu, and it was completely screwy. Maybe it was because I had it on my old laptop, but I installed Fedora Core 4 on it, and it's fine. I must admit that Ubuntu has better Hardware Compatibility because it detected my wireless card (made only for windows) and there was no problem. Not so with fedora.
