Just moved to Linux. After several ups and downs, hassles and solutions, problems and fixes, I finally have Ubuntu as the default option on the Grub boot loader.
It was an all day workout for setting up the box, differentiating between Debian and Red hat based packages (.deb and .rpm), understanding apt-get, et al.
Updating the sources.list file repeatedly to get the latest packages is a bit tiring. May be I started off with wrong initial steps, but then, it was a fun experience overall.
I have finally managed to connect to internet using my ADSL modem and BSNL’s broadband connection over my Linux machine. I have successfully installed xmms {equivalent to winamp for windows!} and VLC player for GNU/Linux.
I also ordered for the latest version of Ubuntu Linux. If you feel like trying, you may order or download it from here.
Will keep posting my experience of using Linux with time. Ta!
