If you installed a dual boot machine with linux and windows, it also offers you a great opportunity to play with windows a little bit ;^) It's really a cute operating system, if you would just give it a chance.

how i got into installing ubuntu is becouse of windows vista ( definition of windows vista : piece of shit with too many bsod's) a bsod on my dads laptop (hp pavilion) so i asked him if he wanted it (biggest mistake ever) it loaded i went to google then boom crashed we tried to install windows xp it didnt work the disc is too scrached but we found annother xp disk and its installing fine.
@wozzupgamer I love Ubuntu, it never crashes on me. Try another distro if you don't like Ubuntu. Linux Mint, Fedora, Puppy Linux, OpenSUSE, OpenGEU, whatever.
@wozzupgamer dude.... ubuntu is very cool in my experience it in all ways except one, better than windows. the 1 way is that windows has the greatest market share of all other os combined therefore all commercial programs are designed for windows. there are ways around this but they cause some instability.
If people need this to get started with Linux ... Then It might be better if those people never touch a digital device again. 3 braincells and some will is all it needs for folks to google some howto's wiki's and all that jazz to properly get going. What a waste of bandwidth. think of the footprint you nerdyerk.
@tubby775 You are a bad debater. A reasonable person would first objectively judge the facts before making such a meaningless retarded argument. 1. Lockergnome is a known spamhouse 2. this nerd is technically inept and only goes for "oww shiny". 3.Apart from random activities, he insists on airing an empty chair mostly on da intarnetz. All that Pretty much comes down to a waste of bandwidth in the worst degree. Only an idiot would postulate an "only an idiot....." argument.. you idiot.
@retepvosnul "da " intarnetz"?

I, for example, do NOT run a spam company which is rather counter productive in the "HELPING" department. Even if this nerd(not geek) helped the odd noob with setting his windows background, I'd say the spam racket royally subtracts from that act of goodness.
And the don't watch argument also doesn't fly, when douchbags like you keep adding this noob to stumble.

only down side, can't play windows based games in linux, now! if they get rid of this disadvantage, they would make a daring case for windows.
well not only with windows based game's but also windows based software, im not saying linux should go windows, just sayin, what if the could somehow get this windows based stuf to work on there system :)
Actually, linux hasn't been erased if you load linux and then windows. The only thing windows did was to overwrite your master boot record. This is easy to fix. You put in an ubuntu CD or USB and boot from that. Then you chroot the linux partition that on your hard drive. Then you re-run the grub installer. Viola, your linux is back. Only takes about 2 minutes if you know what you are doing.
mmm the software that runs on linux oobuntoo whatever none of thats free is it ? had i look at a few torrent sites do i really want to learn how to crack apps all over again on linux nooooo

and in case of dual boot, you must install windows first, then you can install linux mint, ubuntu, fedora or whatever you like, never install windows after, you will erase your ubutnu .....
i have ubuntu jaunty now installed in my system but my problem is it is locked in 800x??? resolution and when i installed nvidia driver the resolution goes to VGA and i cant change it to higher resolution cos the VGA resoltuion and other lower resolution is the only option...i want to have 1152x864 resolution >>>im using Geforce2 MX/MX400 ty guys

This guy seems to be the expert in stretching out a comment to make the video as long as possible. I could have given the same information in only one minute whereas he takes 4 minutes.
please tell us what is the hardware that doesn't work. And remember that Ubuntu can't install drives on the live CD, and that is why the live cd experience is never enough. Most graphics cards need proprietary drivers that ubuntu will only install in a harddrive installation.
i just install off the cd, i didnt have vista, so sound, internet, and everything else doesnt work. i searched for drivers but nothing. so i can make it my only os but nothing works. thats all.
yea you lost me...i gave up on this. im just going to suck it up and wait for the official windows 7 and rip it off of pirate bay..thanks for helping but its just to complicated.
i like fedora because i find it easier, and better layed out than ubuntu. i like the packagement management system a lot better than ubuntu's. it has excellent support, and resources all over the web. plus, fedora is based on rhel which is excellent for servers and networks.
ubuntu has a windows based installer entitled Wubi. It's excellent for trial uses, to get familiar with the os and to test run it to see if you like it. You will not have to edit any file systems, boot configuration, files.
iyanome Virtual Box will work for windows but when you run windows on the Virtual Box you wont be ably to play 3d games on it. as in wont work as fast and all. thats what are tech person told me for he has tried it did not work. i did to and it didn't work. but any ways i love Ubuntu didn't have to pay one cent for it. plus no virus or spy ware and all that other crap.
I'm considering running Linux on my next pc, but what are the definite advantages to Linux rather than Vista/Windows 7. (I'd be running both as I'd be doing a fair amount of video editing and some minor gaming as well)
No advantage in this case, If you simply ran linux, You would gain many advantages such as security, OS Speed, Customization, It never crashes. There is one major disadvantage tho, Due to Microsoft's greed, DirectX is not avaliable for linux, And so games are not ported to linux as its more trouble than its worth. If DirectX was on Linux, Who in their right mind would use windows?
I don't think Microsoft is afraid of linux, I think what they're afraid of is that if linux had direct x and actual support then Windows would take a massive hit while Mac sales would stay the same, meaning that Mac would end up with a larger market share compared to Windows than before. The points you made seem valid, but is it really that simple to run? I don't want to end up spending hours just trying to get things to work.
While linux takes a little more effort to get set up, Once it is, Theres no reinstalling windows every 5 seconds, Or reinstalling drivers etc. Once it's up, Its up for good. To me that is far more important than a little inconvenience at the begining.
i really like what linux is doing its free open source, ive reccomended this to many ppl and actually installed it ontu their computers they never thought would ever be up and running anymore and for that ubuntu gets two thumbs up
He talks about alot of old stuff that most people know already, and why is he using windows, thought he was a Apple fan boy/ everything apple kind of guy, i feel sorry for him -_-
i'm not being bias, , key word, i said, "thought" not is, but besides the fact, apple sucks and they over charge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and i love how you didn't comment on what else i said, who's the bias fuck now -_-
I installed Ubuntu 8.4 inside Vista on my desktop PC last night. Or rather, I let it install itself. I put the disc in the drive, and it asked me what I wanted to do. Did I want to run it from the disc, install it, or what? I clicked to install, and it said, did I want to install it inside Windows? I clicked yes.
The system was up and running approximately 35 mins later. An idiot could do it.
If you paid for linux when you said £3.99, you shouldnt of, its open sourse so it should be free, and i think its protected by a legislation to say taht if you buy it you shouldnt of its free lol
The 3.99 was just the cost of the cd and postage. I could have downloaded if for nothing. And, as far as I know the open source ethos is that it's free to use and do with what you will, not that it should be free to aquire from a supplier.
It was what I did on my new Vista Home Premium machine. It runs like I am dual-booting both Window and Linux. I have an Window XP machine running side by side with Linux Ubuntu 9.04 beta in dual boot mode and yet another older machine runs solely on the same beta version. It is free. Our e-mail client Evolution runs faster than any e-mail client on earth. This beta version also makes installing codecs for multimedia operation a scint. Way to go Ubuntu.
Omg chris you damn nerd i use to like you but god sakes do you anything besides sit in front of a fucking computer try to stay off the computer for 1 day doubt you can do it computers are like your drug
I tested Ubuntu, after not running half my programs and hardware, and taking five times longer to do a simple task like installing a program, I just went back to using Windows Xp, which works with about 99% of everything, getting a little old though.
I got Ubuntu on one of my old 40 gig hard drives in my machine. Used it about 2 times. Can't play many games on it. Ya its secure but it needs more software support.
If you have windows installed on your computer and you boot off a "Ubuntu netbook remix" (Ubuntu for netbooks, awesome OS highly reccomended) live CD, and go to install it gives you the option to install Ubuntu side by side with windows. it partitions everything and installs a bootloader for you. It's really cool.
Why would anyone want to run Linux. It's just a piece of crap that is nowhere near having the amount of capacity it needs in order to keep yourself from being robbed of your identity.
or u could just download wubi google search it and its installs ubuntu onto your hardrive and you need 5gb harddrivespace and you dont have to dual boot it or anything it will just intall itself
Wow, Chris Pirillo must be some sort of tech-genius. He manages to install Ubuntu! Jesus Christ, Ubuntu is the easiest shit to install or access via Live-CD. You don't even need a damn manual or a list of instructions. Try coming up with better video ideas.
Thanks Chris! Was looking for something like this since I've gotten back into gaming. Loved using ubuntu but didn't want to have to deal with all the crashes wine gave with most of the games.
I hate how patronizing he is.

Wubi is the prefferred method of installing Ubuntu on a Windows It's sooooo easy my 5 year old niece could do it

Portable?
I installed Ubuntu 8.4 inside Vista on my desktop PC last night. Or rather, I let it install itself. I put the disc in the drive, and it asked me what I wanted to do. Did I want to run it from the disc, install it, or what? I clicked to install, and it said, did I want to install it inside Windows? I clicked yes.
The system was up and running approximately 35 mins later. An idiot could do it.
£3.99 instead of £170.00?
;-)

If you paid for linux when you said £3.99, you shouldnt of, its open sourse so it should be free, and i think its protected by a legislation to say taht if you buy it you shouldnt of its free lol
Theben0987 2 years ago
The 3.99 was just the cost of the cd and postage. I could have downloaded if for nothing. And, as far as I know the open source ethos is that it's free to use and do with what you will, not that it should be free to aquire from a supplier.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. ;-)
wordreet 2 years ago
No GPL states they can charge for media and handling charges. You can charge for the CD and even the time it takes to make it.
All of that is covered by the GPL. Besides When they say free that does not mean necessarily free as in free beer. More like free as in free speech.

It was what I did on my new Vista Home Premium machine. It runs like I am dual-booting both Window and Linux. I have an Window XP machine running side by side with Linux Ubuntu 9.04 beta in dual boot mode and yet another older machine runs solely on the same beta version. It is free. Our e-mail client Evolution runs faster than any e-mail client on earth. This beta version also makes installing codecs for multimedia operation a scint. Way to go Ubuntu.

I tested Ubuntu, after not running half my programs and hardware, and taking five times longer to do a simple task like installing a program, I just went back to using Windows Xp, which works with about 99% of everything, getting a little old though.

If you have windows installed on your computer and you boot off a "Ubuntu netbook remix" (Ubuntu for netbooks, awesome OS highly reccomended) live CD, and go to install it gives you the option to install Ubuntu side by side with windows. it partitions everything and installs a bootloader for you. It's really cool.
