Re: How did you hear about ubuntu?
My friend said that her husband used this Linux thingy called Ubuntu, that it was the definative Linux OS. After a very unsuccessful and quite disheartening attempt at a SuSE Live CD, with my screen going all green (I know it's the color of the lizard but this branding is rediculous), I figured I'd give up on Linux. Well, I came to ubuntu.com not too long after, and found that they send free cd's, so I put in an order and forgot about it until one day this re-sealed, tattered package that had either been previously opened, or dropped, or kicked, or driven over, maybe a combination of all 4, who knows, showed up at my door (at least the post office did have the courtesy to re-seal it). But anyway, I digress, I installed the cd and after a little trepidation Ubuntu was installed flawlessly. I only had to set up the essentials (codecs and such), a couple of my fave programs available for linux (mainly Azureus) and I was, and still am, enjoying it in all it's "Hoary Glory".
BTW too bad you don't have a "hearing from a friend" selection. I suppose it's similar to "Given CD's by a friend" but since there wasn't, I just picked "other".
Common sense is assumptions ugly cousin.
