Are you planning to dual-boot or install Linux only? How familiar are you with Linux (i don't remember from any previous posts, sorry)? If not accustomed to Linux-only, and not planning to dual-boot, it can be a good idea to run Linux from one of Live-CD/USB or WUBI-install, until used to it. > I have the ubuntu 9.04 distro.

We always do manual partitioning (even though that may be the hardest part of install process) - at a minimum separate partitions for / (system) and /home (data). We also routinely add the OpenOffice PPA repository to the Software Sources, so we get the newest OpenOffice through the Package Manager. (Well, we also get rid of libmono and install gThumb.) > Also opinions should I install the desktop distro or the netbook? My recommendation is to try LiveCD or LiveUSB of both and see which you like better. /Randall Randall Whitman Whizman Software Solutions www.whizman.com _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list [email protected] http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
