    Quick question...

    It's 11:30 at night... but I really, really want to install Kubuntu... about how long is it going to take? I've done it before, but can't remember for the life of me. I'm used to setting virtually a whole day aside for installing windows... >

    If you have the LiveCD (or the Alternate CD/DVD), then less than an hour for the initial installation, assuming no hardware conflicts during installation.
    Windows no longer obstructs my view.
    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

      My laptop installed 8.04 with KDE4 in 15 minutes, from first boot to personal login! Then I had my wifi working before an hour was up!

          Half an hour to install, the rest of the week to configure.

            I seem to never complete the "configure" part, been working on it for years.

              Mine is about 30 minutes, with 7200 RPM harddisk, Processor 3.06 Ghz, 512 RAM. Do all those things affect the installation time anyway??
