Canonical Ltd. is giving away free CDs of their Debian based desktop Linux

[NetRyder]

His blog said t00t, which is his x86 machine. As he will specify in a reply after yours it was indeed his x86.

Oh yeah, nevermind.

Very nice! Using it now. Definately going to do an install tomorrow (instead of using the live cd).

i have it dual boot on this machine, but i have removed the gdm and went into a custom fluxbox mode I also have it running on what was a dead lappie and it even works with my 3com prism54 chipset pcmcia wifi card... which i watched in amazment

definetly the mainstream distro of choice

Well I suppose I could run a dual OS setup on here but as I am not that familiar with Linux I would rather put on a seperate box.

B*******R! they will not reach me now I have no address - /me hopes for forwarding.... oh yeah, and the box to run them on!

I got mine about a week ago. Having problems with the ESR value crap...oh well, I'm getting my 18.1 Gb 15000 rpm HD tomorrow...Think I'll put a dual boot on that. Hopefully that solves my prob. By the way, I've already passed out about 60 of the 100 x86's and all my 20 mac versions are gone...Linux to the world. Now if I could only get it to work...lol

I tried the "live cd" version the other day. Knoppix seems to pack in a whole lot more. Did look nice though but nothing to get all excited about ... or order a gazzilion cds of. :devious:

 

[SPeedY_B]

The ease of use and pretty looks will appeal to more people than anything else though. For the geekier of us, Knoppix (STD) may be more fun, but for simplicity, Ubuntu's really nice.

I'm still waiting on my shipment!

 

[Glaanieboy]

As soon as I finished making the auto-restore cd's for my new (or old as SPeedY_B kindly pointed out ) laptop I will install Ubuntu on it, just for fun

 

[Scooter]

i'm still waiting on my shipment too... its been almost a month now

 

[Glaanieboy]

Yay! Got it installed on my laptop I've played with it for like 5 mins and all I could see is that it doesn't properly displays about power information. It stays at battery 0%, while connected to the power. Oh well, maybe I have to install some other proggy, I'll check tomorrow.
