Good day all
My appologies if I am being a pain - but I would like for someone who
leaves around jhb central to hook me up with some ubuntu disks.
Thing is I am tired of windows and wanna install a reliable os in my
system. I have used ubuntu before and I liked it.
The problem is my internet connection doesn't allow me to download the
installation and would greatly appreciate if someone can hook me up.
I am willing to pay for it
Thanks
Nikiwe

Hi Quintin
Just out of curiosity, exactly why do think the tick box is more of a
problem than the software center?
I think we might have to swallow our pride in this case, and regard it
as a means to an end; improving the user experience and growing the
market share for Linux. I think Ubuntu is aiming for somewhere in
between Debian and Mint. The difficulty of consuming media in formats
requring "non-free" codecs is likely the most common user complaint with
Ubuntu.
I never said that the tick box was bad, in fact I think it is a great
feature, did I say so in the blog entry?
Cheers.

Regards,

When you install Maverick, there is a tick box in the installer itself
asking if you want to install the codecs.
See a screenshot here

That is good enough IMO.
