First I tried installing it on a Virtual PC. I allocated 1 Gig RAM to the virtual pc memory and started the installation. Even though the Ubuntu's title is 'Linux for Human Beings' I couldn't see any 'human related' user friendly messages or information during the setup. It was filled with all those scary messages. Installation was a 'dos screens' type based one which I think a thing of the past. Unfortunatly after the installation Virtual PC didn't get started properly. Screen opened up in a creazy resolution and with color patches everywhere.

Then I gave a try with my extra hard disk. Phew! Finally it worked.

May be the earlier Virtual PC tryout failed due to it is not supporting to be installed on a virtual enviorenment (i'm not sure about this). Because it cannot be due to a error in Virtual PC. I'm sure of this because I already have many Operating Systems installed on VPC which are running perfectly.

So my final conclusion about Ubuntu is ...

I herd that there are over 600 different versions/types of Linux available. I have Mandrek and Redhat installed in virtual PCs. When compared I didn't felt anything special at all about Ubuntu. I think Ubuntu is just another one of those Linux types, or if I have missed anything I would really appriciate it if Linux guys can educate me.
