[Bloodyshadow217]

[xXParaMuffinXx]

Dude, get a screen recorder.

[TheAlessio12345678]

[rubinacat1]

[PaultjeAlgemeen]

Don't know how to setup Network lol

[samuel92543]

@PaultjeAlgemeen I couldn't either, haha.

[yapboy09]

Can u do it on a windows 7 laptop PLZ REPLY

[samuel92543]

@yapboy09 Yes

[yapboy09]

@samuel92543 btw when i installed the software it just crashed

[yapboy09]

@samuel92543 thx for the reply well it didnt work on my computer so thx.....for nothing

[samuel92543]

@yapboy09 That's to bad. It's supposed to be able to work on all computers. But, I guess you can't always rely on open source software.

[houstonbhorsemen]

Awesome DUDE!!!! Thanks!!!!

[houstonbhorsemen]

Awrsome dude! Thanks!!!!!!!

[GOBRAGH2]

Is Unbuntu the easiest version of Linux to install? There seems to be many versions of Linux. What's the closest version of Linux compared to Windows if I wanted to use Linux in a classroom?

[HollowFire386]

When I'm trying to finish the installation process, after reboot I choose to start with Ubuntu instead of Windows, I just get a black screen, could that be from downloading the wrong version?

[samuel92543]

@winkofblind Maybe, are you talking about the one like on a netbook?

[deadmarioX493737]

how about a gnome linux?

[samuel92543]

@deadmarioX493737 What about it?

[deadmarioX493737]

@samuel92543 does gnome linux work?

[rfcRossgo]

this video was really helpful, thanks; i no longer need my freand to burn it on a disk for me xD

[rfcRossgo]

[skinhead34567]

backround noise something about christmas...lol

[MikeVAylward]

he wants to hide his computer passward. you cant hack that

[samuel92543]

@MikeVAylward I know. But still.

[micro1087]

if you install it my AVG anti virus said virus detected.

[samuel92543]

@micro1087 That's weird. Did you install from a different website or something?

[santiking]

I have an autorun/Recycler virus not allowing me to open up files on my external harddrive. I unhidden these files but windows xp won't let me delete these files. I was told that i should run linux from a disk and and delete the virus that way. how do i do that?

[PrincessToOoMa]

I have windows Vista

I tried to install it and run it as Adminstrator..

Installation doesn't complete and I get a massege says " an error accurred: Cannot download metalink and therefore the ISO

Do you have any idea how to fix this?

[kooliokid111]

@PrincessToOoMa

I get this to

[kooliokid111]

@PrincessToOoMa

Try regular Ubuntu, worked for me. and I had that error for everything else.

[ItzLegendz2K9]

Turning on ku- uh ubunt-.. linux LOL

[davidsk8r94]

dude you rock so um virtual highfive bro

[zmnaco]

thanks man you made it much easier.

[collindiekvoss]

thanks man

[chavezery09]

is it ok to just completely overwrite Windows OS with a Linux distro? i was wondering because my laptop is repeatedly crashing from annoying viruses my stupid cousin put on it :\

[MrTyAaron]

@chavezery09 Yeah, actually if you mount an ISO to a disk or USB it'll give you the option to wipe the hard drive and install Ubuntu. You need to backup data if you do this.

[iwantdatech]

That is a long intro!

[chigong980]

Great vid! I did this step by step, and ended up with a perfectly clean installation to my laptop. Thanks!

[maw88ify]

This is not every version of Linux, because there are 100's of Linux distributions... Like Linux Mint, MoonOS, Gentoo, openSUSE and tons more... go to distrowatch(dot)com ...

Good work on the video, I would point out if you download the CD ISO the WUBI is included as part of the CD , and I install faster... Linux Mint also has WUBI built in to the install CD ...

[60spaure]

even better use vmware : no driver issues!

[maw88ify]

@60spaure Even better use virtualbox it's free vmWare is not.

[mrneutral3]

allz u got to do :D

[killeroreo214]

there's also another way that allows even more Operating Systems it's VirtualBox, but i would suggest it to just use it as a trial or something not to actually run it all the time cause it wouldn't really be at it's right performance.

so it would be better to actually install the OS

[connorxx99]

I don't know if i should do it or not if i do however can i change back as easy?

[samuel92543]

@connorxx99 Yes, it's very easy. When you turn off your computer and turn it back on select Windows. And if you want to uninstall Linux just go to Control Panel<Add or Remove Programs on Windows and find Ubuntu or Kubuntu or whatever you installed and click it and click uninstall.

[mayurdessaim22]

hey really thanks for making it so simple but im not connection to wireless net using kubuntu how to set wireless connection ....

[samuel92543]

@mayurdessaim22 Sorry, I have the same problem. I can't figure out how to connect to the internet on Kubuntu.

[dennisreppond]

thanks sam, you showed me something new to start learning about.

[samuel92543]

@dennisreppond No problem.

[dennisreppond]

thanks sam, you showed me something new to start learning about.

[uilium]

I got a computer that's not on the net and when I try to instal Umbuntu ith the status bar goes fast to 385% and then just stayed there for like four hours saying something like "configuring network" . The windows that's on it is riddled with malware so I, don't know?

[223brandon]

USE CAMTASIA... makes tuts alot better otherwise 5/5 nice job kid.

[faiden07]

hey dude tnx

[Crusader50000]

Hey Samuel,

When I boot up my computer, and select "Ubtunu", I can get to to installing it, but it stops at the partitioning window, and it says that there's an error because I'm missing the "root system file". Any idea on how to fix it..?

[samuel92543]

@Crusader50000 I think that happened to me once. You'll probably have to uninstall it and then install it again. That might work.

[mr12312332123]

love u.....jk but thx for the help

[mr12312332123]

i doing mint i did the boot now thing i loaded it up and now it says loading you no how long it takes?

[dka27]

good work samuel

[samuel92543]

It might say that at first but then it decreases after a minute. If not, you just have a really slow internet connection or you selected like 20 gigs as the installation size. I'd just say 3gigs for the installation size.

[JustGlitchIt]

I'll give it another try, even though my internet is fairly quick. ill wait a bit and see

[samuel92543]

Ok, hope you can get it to work. :- )

[1momerat99]

yeah good job

[botomatic2]

wow kid, you are really smart, thank you so much for this

[samuel92543]

No problem. :- )

[nolo148]

wat is linux???????

[samuel92543]

Linux is a different operating system. Like there is Windows 7, Windows Vista, MAC OS X, Linux. But what separates Linux from all the other operating systems is that it is 100% free.

[killeroreo214]

which 1 is better and installs faster?Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mythbuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Netbook remix, Kubuntu Netbook

[samuel92543]

I don't know. I think they all take about the same time to install. I like Ubuntu and Kubuntu the best though.

[killeroreo214]

Why do u like Ubuntu and Kubuntu best?

[samuel92543]

I guess just the style. But there all good.

[killeroreo214]

does it matter how many GBs u use?

[samuel92543]

I don't think so.

[killeroreo214]

ok thanx 4 your help

[samuel92543]

no problem

[omarin1997]

i got windows 7 free

[killeroreo214]

I got windows XP service pack2 free, soon I'll have 7 for free!! (mabye

[1momerat99]

@killeroreo214 in my opinion windows 7 is worse than xp microsoft is obsolete

[killeroreo214]

I saw wat it looks like, but I don't really like it, so I agree with u!!

[gamer3611ih]
