I just installed Ubuntu Linux 9.10 on a friend's computer a few days ago. The process went well and I believe that she is very happy with her computer now.
Her main concern for switching to Linux was that it would suit her needs better because she wanted to be able to play her music, write her stories and not have to worry about viruses and computer crashes and security issues. All understandable reasons.
The install process took roughly 20 to 30 minutes and setting up was a breeze. She had fun choosing a desktop background for her computer and had even more fun knowing she was free to do what she wanted exactly how she wanted now that she was using Linux.
I've known her for years so she and I have history together and she trusts my opinion on her switch to Linux.
You may want to switch to Linux yourself but you may not be sure how to go about doing so. There are probably a number of reasons and good questions you have.
To help you with your switch to the Linux world and answer a few basic questions to help get you on the right path check out the Linux Distribution Chooser.
What do you like most about Linux and what Distribution do you use or want to use and why?

Thank you again Eric for installing Linux on my computer. I do enjoy having a simple way of getting from one thing to the next with Linux. I'd suggest this program to any person who wants to make using the internet easier and safer.
ReplyDeleteAs a bonus the programs that come with Linux like Pidgin are amazing when it comes to getting in touch with my friends over many different Instant Messengers. Linux truely is the way to have faster, safer, and more reliable internet on your computer. Plus a very fun work space for anything you, yourself, need to work on.
Eric you got the words fo the wise.
Dex,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are enjoying your computer now that you have Linux on it and I'm happy to hear it's working well for your needs.
Thanks for the comment
Have fun!
Eric
