After having a chat about operating systems with a fellow gamer, I got interested in trying out the latest Linux OS from Ubuntu. I have tried the older version some time ago but it seems the latest one has improved a lot.
At first I tried to install with an old DVDRW but could not work so had to switch to a fairly new DVDR and it went quite smoothly. So I guess if you wish to install it, make sure you got some reliable DVD media. I usually verify data after burning..
First thing I noticed was the lack of sound after installation. After a few Google searches I found out I had to install the Ubuntu Restricted Extras. Not sure why it was never included in the original installation disc. Installation of Restricted Extras appeared to be stuck at applying changes but in reality there was a Microsoft Agreement to install some fonts behind the installation screen!
