My Ubuntu Experience, First 24hours

Well as every OS this too has it's ups and downs. Well I loved how quick and easily I could manage and split my HD in partitions, I had 2 partitions 100GB which had XP, and 49GB for My Documents and Backups.

Then I split the 100GB into 10GB and 90GB(I installed Windows First, so I done this from the windows setup, the rest was done from Ubuntu), 90GB for windows and 10GB for Ubuntu, then from that 10GB ext3 I made a 266Mb (or something like that) SWAP Partition.

And I just made '/' in the ext3 partition. Then it installed quickly, restarted and then grub came up

I edited grub to make XP my default selection, I learned this @ School.

And then I went to work happily, Because I had an XP and Ubuntu dual boot.

When I returned I already had Setup.List corrupted :S so I went to sleep because I could not find out what was the problem. Now I returned from school and found a fix for that, and I am very pleased. Why?

Because I plugged in my Logitech USB Headset and it worked, I installed several apps, codecs for MP3 and the NVIDIA drivers, and then I selected Extra as Visual Effects, and dang I am AMAZED!! Then I inserted my blusoleil USB and it just worked, again. But now I was really amazed because windows gave me a hard time to install it's drivers, it's application etc.., but linux just worked!! and I paired it without any problems.

Well the only things that bug / ed me so far is/are/were:-
The corrupted list
The installation of some applications is too complicated with the Terminal.

Besides that I am AMAZED, and Finally after months of thinking about this, I made a dual boot... and I am satisfied!!

Congratulations on installing it! You've made me want to re-partition my laptop HD and install it on here as well. I'm not sure about your list.corrupt error though. Perhaps someone else knows the answer.

Well thanks. and about the list, I did fix it

I had a backup (I think automatically created by linux, that's y I'm starting lovin' it) and I just replaced it, everything ran fine afterwards.
