Ubuntu 8.10

By symbolis

I recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 and I’ve been digging it.

I’ve had other forays into using GNU/Linux, mainly with Ubuntu. While they’ve all been quite successful, I eventually would head back to Windows.(Usually after my tinkering caused some issue that I couldn’t solve.)

This time, though? I think I’ll be sticking with it.

I have a dual boot setup with Ubuntu and Windows XP.(Actually, it’s a triple boot setup as I also have Kubuntu installtion on the hard drive.)

The only thing I’ve actually ‘had’ to boot into Windows for is playing Grand Theft Auto IV.(Even that, I haven’t done much.)

Everything has worked fine with minimal tinkering.(I had to use a wired connection during install, since they can’t ship my wireless card’s driver with the CD. Once installed and updated, I downloaded and installed the driver via the handy “Hardware Drivers” application, in System > Administration)

Maybe if I get less lazy I’ll post the steps I did upon install.(More for myself than my imaginary audience. I always forget crap like this.)
