It’s just an evolutionary step, mainly to get away from the large 2.6 versions.
Ok.. after reading about Linux from you after all of these years.. I finally tried it out again (last time was about 2000.. Red Hat).. didn’t like it then.
This time is went VERY smoothly on install.. and was connected to the net in less than 5 min. The BIG prob I have now is that when the system boots, I don’t see the duel boot option (Win7 was installed first).. It boots directly to Windows.
I have been researching the net for 4 days now, have seen the same problem mentioned many times.. the few that spent time answering the questions, most helped many people with the problem.
None of them worked for me.. am thinking about reinstalling again to see if that works (fingers crossed), but not expecting it to.
The only way to run Ubuntu now, is to boot from the USB Flash drive.. use the ‘try it out’ boot :/
Anyway, I can see things have come a LONG ways since I have last tried it out :)
