Ubuntu 7.04 Install Step 1:
Download Ubuntu Feisty Fawn
Of course the first step in installing anything is to legally download it. (Store-bought CDs are so 2005).
I chose the torrent file from the Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn Release Page for a desktop 386 system. (my hp zv6000 laptop, with not a ton of hard drive space, and even less RAM, so we'll see how this works)
Here I am about 15 minutes later with a nice ISO file and no ISO burner... So I head over and download ISO Record v 2 and realize I've already downloaded it. So I'm going to log out, log in as an admin, and install ISO recorder, burn the CD and get ready to install Ubuntu on an empty partition on my laptop!
(No, I am not an admin on my own machine at home, and no, I haven't had a single malware problem since. Run no-script in Firefox and set yourself as a limited user account and you almost couldn't damage your windows machine if you tried... it's almost like running linux with a start-bar, but there are actually vendor-provided drivers... it's crazy I tell you, crazy.)
