Well tonight was my first real night of installing the 7.04 release of Ubuntu on the powerful all-inspiring EvilBeast pc I put together a little while ago. And So far not so good. Already trashed the install once to due dodgy Nvidia drivers that Ubuntu downloaded for me, and to which I thought all would be well but no!!

As I type this, this is in the live CD state, waiting for the second attempt to finish. Also found an interesting bug. I have to enable “Wake-On-LAN” in Windows for the network card to work correctly in Ubuntu. Haven’t even got to really doing anything yet. And the Linux people out there wonder why more people use Windows over this? It takes a lot of time to learn, and methinks I would have to brush up on all of the commands to be able to troubleshoot from just the command line. Perhaps I have become over dependent on nice wizzy Windows in order to do command line stuff.

But really this hasn’t been as much fun as I thought. But it’s in a long list of things I want to have a play with including Microsoft Exchange 2003. Need to beef up my support skills and start learning new things, even if I get upset by them.

This concludes the geek news for today, just remember campers this site maybe down after 8pm tommorow for a short time. Never mind eh? 🙂
