I never thought that installing Linux would be so easy (after my fight with Gentoo).

  • It recognized my wireless card (Intel 3945ABG) and let me connect to my router (unlike Vista Beta 2)
  • After connecting to the internet, it immediately informed me of about 70 updates
  • By typing 3 lines of code, my ATI x1400 videocard was working
    • sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx linux-686 (reboot)
    • sudo aticonfig –initial
    • sudo aticonfig –ovt=Xv (reboot)
  • Automatically logs onto my wireless connection upon boot

This only took me about 45 minutes – I'm impressed.

Overall comments so far: I like it alot 8/10.

**Update: I am in love with this – so I will chronicle my forays into the Linux world.
