Ubuntu: At times it's a breeze, at times it badgers
Breezing through Installation
I will say this much. True to it's name, this version of Ubuntu is a breeze to install. Unlike my usual reviews, I won't go into detail on how to install it. There wouldn't be much point, as the process really hasn't changed from the Hoary Hedgehog version. For the curious, I covered this last Spring in my review of that version of Ubuntu. This will give me more time (and space) to describe the steps I took to get Ubuntu running with the applications that I believe the modern desktop should have.

As I mentioned, the Ubuntu installer, though not pretty, is certainly easy to use and effective in getting a basic system set up quickly. Once the installation is complete and you can log in, you've got a great "canvas" so to speak, that you can use to "paint" your own Linux system. But you need to be an artist with some skills. Ubuntu still isn't the equivalent to an easy "paint by the numbers" set.
