I did do an install on my desktop, and I was fooling around with partitioning stuff, and dealing with a video card that Ubuntu didn’t quite like, and that was all a bit tedious.

You can try running Ubuntu off of a live CD, so you can see if it plays nicely with all your hardware, and if you think it’s something you can learn to use (You can!); I recommend the book Ubuntu Linux for Non Geeks as a resource.

Of course, now I am getting all crazy hardcore and learning to type shit in the command line and all. Sudo bash. Eeeeeek.

Ubuntu rules. My only advice is never upgrade the distribution, always reinstall :P (from experience and much pain caused by several failed upgrade attempts :s)

knitsocks installing ubuntu is generally very easy, if it’s your thing give it a go some time ;)

I am very impressed with your Ubuntu installation; I bow to your open-source geekiness and wish I could do that as easily as you’ve done!

I’m interested to see the gear you need to carry for underwater photography.
