Thanks for the acknowlegement. It just struck me as soon as I saw it that this message was going to be a real slap in the face for noobs. We really don't want to send them away feeling insulted. Hell, even if you understand what the message means, it's not true! How the hell is a noob supposed to cope with that? Still, you've been there, haven't you.
Enjoy Linux. Its different to windows, but its not really harder, just different. Similar in some ways, fundamentally different in other ways. But I find it liberating - its more open that Win, and deeper too. There's no point at which you hit a brick wall that says you can't look in here its private. You can get to do computing as opposed to just running applications, if you see the difference (which might take time). Use ubuntuforums.org as a resource. They are friendly and helpful, and more often than not can give you a good answer to your questions. On 15/10/2007, epicflux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm a noob to installing Ubuntu.
