So here I am on SDF Public Access Unix using the Ubuntu Terminal application running on my MacBook Pro. This is version 10.04 of Ubuntu Linux. I booted to the Live CD
after holding down the OPTION key when I restarted my MacBook Pro. Upon doing that, the Mac prsented me an option to boot into the regular Mac OSX that is installed on my
internal hard drive or boot into the Windows CD that I inserted before restarting. Of course the OS was not Windows but Ubuntu Linux. Selected that and lo and behold the
Mac went through an arduous start up process (I had to do nothing but just simply wait) until it came to a screen that asked if I wanted to install Ubnutu or just try it
out live from the CD. I decided to try it out live.
So far I am impressed with the new Ubuntu Linux 10.04. Very nice and sure as hell beats running it in a Virtual Environment that I had installed only a few months ago.
I am tempted to see if I can run this off an external firewire drive and hope it boots from that. I will have to find out and see.
Check the web first to see if someone else has tried that with a Mac.
ON the other hand I could always buy a PC and erase Windows and install Ubuntu as my default system. It would be no loss installing Ubuntu and erasing Windows on any PC. I
am not a Microsoft Windows fan even though I have to use it at work. That is enough of windows.
Anyway just my very brief toughts on Ubuntu Linux 10.04.
