@david520able The issue was that I had issues getting Orca to run smoothly (the magnifier) on my Toshiba. So if a distro wasn't working well with Compiz, I couldn't use it. In this case? Ubuntu 11.04's launch bar didn't play well with the compiz magnifier, in other words, it wasn't magnified while everything else was. :(
Oh, and which setting in accessibility do I choose for the scren reader? I have visibility 1, 2, 3, braille, and mobility 1 and 2. Thanks for the help!
@david520able The difference is in the amount of storage you are going to use total (30 GB for an Ubuntu partition in total for example). As far as accessibility? You want Visibility and whichever tab has Orca on it. The problem is I haven't touched Ubuntu since 11.04
Having draft-N (300 Mbit/s) or G (54 Mbit/s) does not affect your download speed (WAN) unless you have an internet connection that can download data with a speed greater than ~2.5 MB/s. Draft-N gives about ~6.5 MB/s. You would see the difference when you're in LAN not WAN. Please note that 300 Mbit/s (which is 37.5 MB/s) and 54 Mbit/s (6.75 MB/s) are theoretical values. So you cannot say that you can download ubuntu (or anything else) in 1.5 hrs with wireless G and half time with wireless N.
What we have is a Wireless LAN - I did notice a file that only took about 2 minutes at home where my N connection is took about 20 where the G was in my vacation home. Those figures may not be accurate (it's been at least 5 months) but I did notice a speed difference, for sure.
Well unfortunately your WAN speed has nothing to do with your LAN speed. Speed of network packets coming to your house is much less than (600-700 KB/s for typical cable) wireless G can handle. So wireless protocol is not a bottleneck. Your vacation home timings won't change the computer science and networking facts. I like your video efforts though I just didn't want your subscribers learn wrong things.
Thanks for correcting them. In general though I think Wubi is a fantastic app and worth the effort for those taht wish to experiment with Linux without worrying about the live CD or installing it 100%.
Now that I followed your procedure, I now know that the third visibility option is the screen reader. Thanks a lot!

Oh I completely understand. Do you think I should just go ahead and select the first visibility option and hope that it works?

Is that because you don't like it? Or does it half to do with your schedule.

What is the reccomended install size for Ubuntu? I can choose between 5GB and 30GB. Is there a difference in how much space I use?

Had it since 06 and I needed it for the extreme portability. I haven't used it so much as of late except for when I needed Windows for something.

When compressing the video & editing, iMovie did a double audio effect. Not sure why.
rml695 2 years ago
Yes, I think it did it at the end also, comments are welcome twice.
But anyway, thanks for yet another informative and useful video.

This is good option of those of us who would like to taste linux but aren't ready to commit part of our hdd to linux just yet.
