Ubuntu Linux
I spent the entire day trying to install Ubuntu Linux on my old IBM Aptiva 8 GB computer.. The IBM Aptiva had Windows 98 but since my bro bought a new pc, I can format it and install a new operating system. At first I was going to install Win 98 but my friend suggested to install Linux. At first he said Fedora then he said Ubuntu. He said to use the Server version which I did but there was no GUI on it.. Not very user friendly.. So I install the desktop one and now I have a linux box.. I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :jump: i cant believe I formatted a computer all by myself which is something I’ve never done and install a totally differnet o/s. The only thing that drove me crazy is the partitioning.. I didnt know what I was doing so I just used the Erase entire disk partition. I dont plan on putting Windows on this one anyway. So it’s pure Linux and I just hope I wont have to redo this again. The fact that it’s such a slow pc and with so little space, it was so tedioius… But I’m glad it turned out really well. I have so much to learn about this new toy. I have yet to install so many applications for it. I am no longer scared to format desktops… unless it’s mine of course!
