Ubuntu up and running


Well after a long haul I finally have a operating system on the Computer.
I settled for Ubuntu 7.04 as it was the only decent on that I could get working on it, DSL would of worked but I wasn't keen on it.
I had tried quite a few Linux versions, in fact I have a small CD case full of them. along with the ultimate boot Cd and Hirens boot cd. but it wasn't till I rebuilt it again using the other Computer case and motherboard that I actually got it working.
Now I have the task of learning how to use Linux, which if you just want to surf the net isn't a problem. It is when you want to add Programs and what I was trying to do tonight, add adobe flash player, which in windows is just click and install, but a bit more complex and I haven't managed it yet.
Its always handy to have another internet connected computer at hand, so that you can google what to do next !
