Close encounter of the “L” kind

Ubuntu Linux 6.06 LTSNo …. No .. don’t misread the title, this is a family-oriented blog [I hope so].

Since past few days I’ve been fighting [really] my a$$ out to install Ubuntu Linux [Drapper Drake 6.06 LTS]. And boy-o-boy am I glad Microsoft created Windows XP ! There is always one thing or another that just refuse to work.

First it’s setting up the HD partitioning & and painstakingly making sure all partitions get recognized.

Then the damn drivers for every damn thing, be it network card or Sound card or CPU drivers, one thing or other just kept on missing. Everything I’ve to reboot in XP, download the file and then reboot again into Ubuntu. Why ? Because damn network card drivers just won’t install so I was not able to configure internet.

So after a week & countless format of different partitions, I had given up. Until something better comes up which installs with less headaches I’m done with Linux.

I’m not passing a verdict on Linux or Ubuntu Linux, maybe others won’t have that many problems installing Ubuntu as much I had. These are just my thoughts. Or maybe I’m not classified as Human Being.
