Gonna try this Linux distribution just for kicks, any thoughts?

While I'm not fully switching to Linux and end up installing it even on the microwave oven I'd like to give it a try.

Urm...why is this in the Windows section?

And are you installing it on your hard drive or just trying it out?

moidock · 04-13-2009, 03:34 PM

Sorry, posted it quickly because boss was coming.

I'll install it on my hard drive and try it out directly by dual booting.

I know it's pretty much set up by itself and it is not the figure-it-out-yourself geeky version but I just wanna try it out just because.

Hopefully your choice to try Linux doesn't result in self-pwnage too.

I've been trying out the Ubuntu releases and quite like them. You should give it a whirl: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/WhatI...desktopedition

So,what happened moidock? has it been tried and forgotten about or is it a good thing?

moidock · 05-30-2009, 08:37 AM

I'm waiting for my current Windows installation to fall apart (not very long now), then I will try a dual boot on it.

Don't worry, I will try it out soon.
