> I'm eager to finally install a Linux distro on my desktop permanently First I would try it some times. There's a "VirtualBox disk image of Kubuntu 11.04 i386 Desktop, stable version" on http://min.us/mX2I0UnLl to conduct experiments on it. About it there is a README.txt on https://i.minus.com/1337778127/ee... If you have any doubt, on this thread you can make questions. |
