[ubuntu-za] Ubuntu Install

[Bill Cairns]

I just got back from an overseas trip to find that the new Ubuntu was
available. So I followed instructions and there it was.

Well not quite so quickly. The download took more hours than I was
prepared to stay up for. Some time in the middle of the night it stopped
to ask me a stupid question that I only answered at 7 the next morning.
Then, for some strange reason, it wanted my password again ...

But that was it. My PC is now updated to 7.10. Everything that I had is
preserved completely down to my last instructions in the terminal
window.

Whwn I think of the problems that we would be facing at work to go from
XP to Vista (for less advantage) my mind is boggled. What a great
release!

Oh - and I did not like the new shade of brown that Ubuntu has come up
with. No problems - I swapped it for a picture of the Stad de France
with John Smit lifting the trophy. (My picture!)
