choosing a linux
February 9, 2007
Next came the task of selecting one of the many linux-based OS around. It was a bit like choosing a brand of cereals in our well equipped supermarket. You want one that looks like it will best suit your taste.
So I googled around a few evening and read a lot and saw some nice pictures. I finally decided to go for Ubuntu. Ubuntu sounds nice and the African word has a nice meaning which suits my idealistic nature.
I dediced to go for the “Dapper Drake” edition 6.06 LTS for reasons of stability and the Long Term Support (another 2,5 years from now on).
I downloaded the necesarry file from the ubuntu website and burned this iso-file on a cd-rom. This turns out, it now called a “liveCD”. From this you can testdrive an operating system without having to install it on your harddrive first.
My linux-quest had now started in earnest.
