Questions on installing Ubuntu Studio

[FirstByté]

Hey Guys, nice thread. I came here not make direct suggestions on how Ubuntu Studio can be the best but to highlight some stuff I'm not clear about.

Hopefully I might help someone like me contribute to Ubuntu Studio indirectly.

I just tried Ubuntu 9.10 Koala beta and it seems to have pleased me just like my move to Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid. I couldn't resist the aesthetics and success of hardware on Ubuntu 9.10 that I just installed it on my first LiveCD trial.

I burnt UbuntuStudio 9.10 to DVD so I could try it out as well and possibly use it as my main distro, but was shocked, there ain't no LiveCD'ing option.

I'm an UbuntuStudio n00b please correct me if I'm wrong. How can I try it out [LiveCD it] without having to install it?

Sorry FirstByté, there is no LiveCD option for Ubuntu Studio, just an installation disc.

aight then,

I may still give it a shot soon.

Thanks for the info

I'm Planning on virtualizing this thingy so as just to have a feel of it.

The download site http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/releases/9.10/rc/

says a RAM size of 256MB is minimum. While I wouldn't run on minimal RAM, which other specs (guest config) do you think might help.

My system runs:


A Laptop
Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB RAM
Virtualbox 3.0.x
250GB HDD (Ubuntu takes 44GB [ext3], rest is NTFS)

I just wanna try it out.

I've moved your questions to their own thread as they were straying pretty far from the topic of helping Ubuntu Studio.

I'd say your specs are just fine for VMing an Ubuntu Studio install. Though I've found my VM installs to alway be a bit slow on my computer - keep that in mind while testing things out.
