Ubuntu comes pre-installed with servral software packages such as FireFox and OpenOffic.

I have used this software for just over a week and I can say that it is magnificent and is excellent.

When ordering I ask that you do not abuse the order system if you are aksing for a CD, only ask for what you can use of give out!

To get your copy goto

Hope you like it!

Hi Dude,

Now u can order Kubuntu Linux also....

Try at www.kubuntu.org[hr]And I got My Kubuntu CD pack. It took exactly 1 Month...

But I wanted the text install cds.. and they have sent only the Live install cds...

I'm not sure if you can order the CDs with a terminal - based installer - the live CDs now come with a GUI installer however - just double click the "Install" icon on the LiveCD desktop.

its based like Linux....enough said!

not getting it.

It's a nice OS. I use kubuntu Live CD whan I want to impress my friends ... Ubuntu is based on another good distribution: Debian !

Regards

Err, umm. If you understood what you just said you will realise that it doesn't make sense.

So you arn't going to use Ubuntu, MacOSX becuase they are... err... like(?)... linux?

(oh, and Ubuntu is a distro of Linux basically, so saying based like really does not make any sense at all.)

Hey,

Its good to see people liking it and also downloading it!

Dan

I'm downloading it right now. But I was wondering, is it a normal install, or do you have to use command prompts?

IIRC. You could chose wether it would be command prompt or more 'winblows' style.
Im thinking of going back to Ubuntu myself now that they've released a new version from the one i had. Not much was all too compatible with what i had on my laptop at the time.
It's easy to install and understand so i have to say, Go for it!!

Yep, I got the files burned, but I have to get a program to read iso's. Oh well, it shouldn't take very long to get one. Does anybody have one that they would like to recommend?

Most burning apps *should* burn ISOs. If not, google for iso burner and you should find one

I burned it to a disk. I just don't know what to do with it. Can you please help me. I put the is file ona blank disc, but I don't know what to do.

Put it in and boot from CD...

Or is it the installer? I have Linux Ubuntu saved to my USB, so I just stick that in and boot.

If you just have the Linx files, boot from CD, if....ohh for crying out loud, I've forgotten what I as going to say.

Someone slap me...

Instead of listening to me there are instructions on CompuForums somewhere to Dual Boot. Is that what you want to do?
