Flipping the Linux switch: Installations are disturbingly easy (Download Squad)

Mar 18th 2008 8:28AM A great article. I did one once. I know how much work you put in.

While your article surely shows how to set up the partitioning, most non-geek newbies may not even know what a partition is, so I would have steered them to the automatic partitioning, but for the geeky, it is just fine.

The liveCD with the "Install" icon is cool. I didn't know that Ubuntu had that. I have done that with KNOPPIX and even they do not recommend it but with today's big RAM, it should work well.

I still use the Debian text install. It is very simple these days, too.
