I've only tried Linux one time before and that was years ago with RedHat. I never figured it out so I gave up. Far too hard for me at the time. Earlier this year I started reading more and more about Ubuntu because it was showing up on Digg so much. I decided to give it a try and what do you know? It's a breeze to install.
I created a blog to track my Kubuntu quest. I'll repost my conclusion here:
Installation was frighteningly easy. I started at 2:34PM and I was at my desktop ready to do the updates at 2:56PM. It took me from booting off the DVD to an Internet-ready desktop OS in 22 minutes! Not to mention I had to perform an action during install only seven times. Nice. I like having an install where it doesn't require much input from me. When was the last time you installed Windows in 22 minutes with performing only seven actions (as in typing a name, clicking on options)? Most likely your answer is: Never. Same for me.
I would say virtually anyone can install Kubuntu. It's very easy. So now it's time to find and install programs. I'm going to try Firefox, Thunderbird, and Opera. Wish me luck! Pictures and updates shall continue.
The rest and more is on my blog: http://kubnewb.blogspot.com/
P.S. Kubuntu devs: Thanks so much!
