Install Ubuntu 7.04 in VirtualBox

Just do it!! Go get a copy of the iso and use it to install yourself a nice new copy of Ubuntu Linux. This will allow you to get familiar with this mature, stable linux distribution.

I am tempted to call Puppy just something to play around with, not a 'real' OS, but the truth is it is just in its beginning stages. Read the Developer News a few days and you will see just how dedicated puppy's founder and developer is. But if you have been playing with it you have inevitably found it can lead to quite a bit frustration at times, like when the browser crashes every time you try and look at your bank statement. This make Puppy a great learning tool as you are forced to search out and implement fixes, but there are plenty of times when you want something that just works.

That something is Ubuntu. It is based on a very stable linux version called Debian, which is pretty much intuitive and very easy to learn. Chances are you have heard of it. Now get to know it!! In a later blog I will roll out my favorite programs...
