So, weeks after that I went to the website and I just asked for 10 CDs, and then I forgot.. Some weeks ago I received the CDs at work, I was very surprised that they actually sent them. So after testing the liveCD with good results, I had the idea to install it on the server so we were going to deal with WindowsXP+Ubuntu+MacOS at home.. Isn't that geek? So, yesterday, I started the installation, and I expected that was going to be as easier as the liveCD was. But, after the first installation process, and ejecting the CD and then rebooting it started that GRUB Boot loader and the command line was there waiting for me.. ok.. and now what?! "press TAB for help", done.. what's that shit?! ok.. I'm happy that i got my laptop with internet connection here.. let's google about it.. ok.. boot loader.. let's learn some syntax.. examples... ok.. put that, and that.. ok, I can load windows.. reboot.. let's try boot ubuntu now.. try that.. and that.. oh! it's loading..! Kernel Panic!!.. ok.. wasn't that Linux for human beings?.. reboot.. let's try again.. uhm.. no (1hour later (3:00am) no no.. eh! uh!? what did I press? Esc? What's that menu?! OMG!! why don't they have an small text saying "press ESC to show the BOOT MENU" or so?! Ok.. now that works.. everything works.. fine fine.. login.. ok.. how can I read the HD where i have Windows?! uhm.. google again.. what?! mount it?! oh.. ok.. that's the syntax.. ok.. i got it.. done.. Let's share a folder.. uh?! i have to install what?! samba?! what a name! ok.. how do I do that? Terminal again?! doh!.. So.. if I need to do "relative big things" I need to write weird syntax stuff with the Root Terminal? let's say it again.. wasn't that Linux for human beings? posted by ricardo cabello at 15:37 5 comments written so far well... fortunately you didn't have to do lots of the things I had to do some time ago to install linux... so they have improved a lot but not enough...
