Installed Ubuntu

[dagibbs]

I downloaded and installed Ubuntu (7.10) to my home machine, dual-boot with Windows. Mostly the whole process went pretty smoothly, the only thing that took a bit of work was trying to figure out how to get grub to default back to booting Windows rather than Linux. The documentation was not clear, I'm used to better man pages, and there was mention of a configuration file but no information as to where it might live (yay for the power of find) and at best vague information on how to get it to do what I wanted. Luckily, my Unix experience came through and I invoked the powers of find and vi to triumph!

Now, the real question is how much will I use it. We'll see.

Welcome to the fold, brother. I have two machines, on my desk; an Ubuntu box and XP (and KVM switch). I'm considering on soon doing away totally with the XP box. I can easily use Wine and VMware if I'm desperate for a Windows app.
