This morning, after confirming my backup of important files was complete, I dropped in the Ubuntu 6.06 install CD and was surprised to see how easy they made the process. The install CD is now the Live CD with an install launcher on the desktop. So for anyone wanting to try this OS, they can play around before they decide. If they want to go with it, they simply double click the Install icon on the desktop and they begin the install. When the install is complete (only took me about 8 minutes), the user is prompted to remove the CD and reboot. I do so and was up and running without a hitch and the configuration error I was getting for the past two versions was now gone. There was nothing wrong with the previous versions, but somewhere along the line, I messed something up. Within two minutes, I had my second harddrive enabled (for my music), shared directories setup (which included installing samba), and my shared Printer configured. I had to leave for work, so the rest will have to wait. Good, clean, quick install… couldn’t ask for anything more.
