I settled in to beat my laptop into submission to run Ubunto on Vmware this morning. I figured it would take all sorts of angst.
"It just worked."
This is my first blog post from this environment.
My last workstation Linux install was not so kind. I ran Gentoo. It took 10 days. It really wasn't Gentoo's fault though. I had a very new laptop that had some very new hardware. I did like Gentoo lots. I remember begging X to work. Finally I found some guy on the Gentoo forums (fantastic) that had my same rig and had a x config that had the magic bits.
I'll let you know how the virtualized Ubuntu works.
Perhaps I'll start pronouncing "Ubuntu" correctly now ... nah it is just too much fun for me to pronounce it my own way: "UM-BOOOONtooo".
25-SEP-06 - Updated with proper spelling of "Ubuntu" - man I can't spell or say it!! I'm stupid stupid STUPID!

Err, Ubuntu, not Ubunto...

try partitioning your hard drive - one for windows and one for Ubuntu. its easy as all you have to do is put the cd in, click install, and there is an option to partition
sure if I wanted a dual boot I'd do that.
