Ubuntu Live is Ultra Sweeet

[crosswire]

I am posting this from a ubuntu live cd, and I am estactic in the features of the disk and how easy and fast the system is.

I can browse a windows network, burn cds, play movies, music, view pictures, practically anything I would do in Windows 2000 as a desktop home user. Play solitaire.

I give it 9.7 / 10.0 for a desktop OS. better than windows

If anyone (linux noob) what's to try, then go to filemirrors.com and search ubuntu. My version is 5.01 Live ( disc image size is about 650 MB)

Take your time don't get too excited. Plus you have the old CD.

Yeah, i got mine in the mail last week. I like the new look of the gui and the new process of installing the full OS. I finally learned how to install an app on ubuntu, so that has got me pretty excited too.

EDIT: BTW, i have 4 ubuntu 6.06 LTS cd's that i am willing to give awa. I got 5 via mail, so i thought i would give away four and keep 1. Anyone interested just PM me. Crosswire, maybe you would be interested.

Thanks Ramesh and Gillion

I will be using these link and get the new 6.06 LTS version
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/6.06/release/

There is a live 6.06 DVD as well (3.1GB), getting that too.

Take your time don't get too excited. Plus you have the old CD.

The version I had was actually 5.04.

Still using the live disc to browse the internet with Firefox at work and home. Sweet.

PS, I also downloaded SUSE live dvd and knoppix live cd. I will give an opinion when I get the time again on these with latest stable versions. So far still, ubuntu is sweet, and I can't wait to try the lastest release.

Thank psy,
I would like a dics, but then again, by the time the mail reaches, I would have download and burn. I actually prefer cd-rom to cd-r discs, likewise with dvds. I am in the Montego Bay region where are you.

Questions:
How do I mount the local hard drive from the live cd?

Crosswire, please contact me if you want the original install CD, no charge. I got a bunch of them. I am in MoBay - 867-2356.

Check the "Post your Desktop" thread for screenshots of Ubuntu Desktops .

Ramesh I call but you leave your phone or something so later.

The desktop looks actually pretty neat. It has the style that I like. The explorer program and every other feature of the desktop is quite neat. Explorer has back buttons, etc.

Today I ran SUSE 10 live dvd, and I also liked the look of the desktop. Man, I found out somthing new about windows network and entering a remote hard drive from a shared folder.

Note that all computers on the network are connected through a switch which is supplied with internet and are windows based except the live cd host at ubuntu time.


Question
My second question is if I install ubuntu, will it damage my XP installation?

Sorry about that. I was in another room and didn't hear it ring. Remember the directions I gave you on the phone. Call me if you get lost, though I doubt it.

I doubt you mean Firefox, so I assume you mean Nautilus, which is a Linux version of XP's Explorer Shell.

Not if you have an UNUSED partition. Note that if you do not have XP installed it would be "hitch-less".
