1992Chevy K1500 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 holy crap! To me all this shit is confusing..... Windows is so much easier Same here. I had Ubuntu at one point, but got tired of it. I kept failing trying to get it to do what I wanted.

TechSys Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 If you fail, try again UNTIL you succeed. Ubuntu is a "beginners" linux as is most liveCD distros. I personally use PcLinuxOS, when I'm not in win7ultimate. but linux is linux, all commands are the same (as far as I think). Sorry I couldn't be of any help. Trust me though, after you keep trying you'll figure it out and go, "That was too fracking simple, no wonder I screwed it up".

Trust me though, after you keep trying you'll figure it out and go, "That was too fracking simple, no wonder I screwed it up". So you're telling me the average linux user "breaks" 3 installs of the same OS in 2 month. Yes, I did "break" them. I tried to install some software to turn mine into a PVR, and linux quit and wouldn't boot up after that. A re-install of the OS fixed it, but then it happened again. and again. And it was software that hundreds of people have used many times before and I was the only one to f*** it up. Why? Because I fail at Ubuntu.
