My goal here was to get unix/linux onto a vmware running on a vista laptop. I decided to try an Ubantu install after several failures with gentoo. Ubantu installed and fired right up... I guess I'll have to get used to Ubantu now, at least on this vista vmware guest. I wanted text console but that appears somewhat complicated to achieve in an Ubantu install... probably some way to do it but I'm just going to go with defaults and use the tools I need from a commandline. I'll be visting the ubantu lists some... I suppose. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
