Adventures with Ubuntu Part One [late edition]

March 17th, 2007 · No Comments · Musings, Ubuntu, Words Of Wisdom, linux

This Post was suppposed to have been up ten days ago. 

What can I say, I finally managed to install ubuntu but I don’t know if I am the conqueror or the conquered.

Ubuntu is different from windows. There, I did it, I just won the Captain Eric Moody understatement prize.

I dont understand why linux guru’s after all this ghardowrk cannot make a package that normal people can use. How can linux expect to take the world by storm if to get mp3’s and dvd’s playing one has to sudo this and ./configure that? It’s ridiculus, I say. I tried Suse, frankly I found the installation process way better than ubuntu’s. Unfortunately the installation aborted due to some error that I could not understand. Installing Ubuntu took 6 tries, believe me, even if it were my extremely technically challenged mom who were installing windows, she would have no such trouble. I know i should not compare linux with windows, but i cant help it i’ve been a windows whore for too long.

Things I want to do

  • Change the ghastly orange brown to soemthing bright and blue
  • Get the damn MP3’s playing
  • Figure out how to play movies. from divx to mpeg
  • Figure how I can connect to the net using my nokia 6020 and airtel.

ciao
