If you install it also install Beryl, it's animation for your desktop, like vista shit, but MUUUUCH better and less demanding.

Beryl is obsolete, use compiz-fusion instead ;)
Parent

Krosan 10 Mar 2008, 16:28
Well yeah but Beryl is a part of Compiz Fusion :p
Parent

plekter 10 Mar 2008, 16:43
Or more precicely, compiz fusion is the merge of beryl and compiz, and beryl originally was a fork of Compiz, named compiz-quinn, but now they're getting back together again.. :D

defOK 10 Mar 2008, 12:55
uhm, I'm absolutely clueless m8

I just downloaded it, burned it, and then booted from the cd

then I clicked everything that looked like 'FORMAT EVERYTHING AND INSTALL LINUX'

You need to format your drives to get extra linux-based partitions. Then you need to direct yoru root to one of those partitions. Most of the times you have ext2, swap and storage... But I don' know for sure anymore, been a while.

Once you figured out how it works you'll never want to go back to Windows except for gamez!

is there anywhere somekind of guide how to install ubuntu? :DDD
Parent
▼
Krosan 10 Mar 2008, 13:05
There are a lot of them! I managed to get it on dual boot, so I can choose between windows or linux at startup, and I'm not some linux guru who only works with the shell. I'd have to look for some guides, give me a sec.

That is so true. And you don't realize how bad windows really is until you know Linux well, so I kinda envy the lucky naive windowsusers who have yet to be enlightened... :)
