Speaking as a Ubuntu newbie the process went fairly smoothly. I now have the base OS installed along with a good set of standard apps (ie open office). I configured remote access on it so I can use it from a window in windows. I have a couple of books on order from Amazon to help the process along from here.

Things I need to do: Access a windows based printer, format the extra HD I just added.

Make sure you join up at the Ubuntu Forums- I learned a LOT on those boards, and still go there when things get bumpy (which isn't very often).

Eh, Unbuntu's too trendy to qualify for geek credit anymore.

What if I use it to control my lithium fusion chamber/beer cooler?

Right-O Geek street cred or not, I'm moving right along with this beast.

I have MySQL, PHP-5, Apache, and as of this afternoon vBulletin all installed and running smoothly on my new Ubuntu box. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have some time to spruce of the default install of VB and my Treadmill Desk forums will be up and walking early next week.

How is your Ubuntu experience coming along? I'm thinking about installing it this weekend.

Nothing to complain about. I've not messed with it much since I did the original setup but it's still humming along just fine. Have fun with it.

Here are a couple pages that I liked using after installing Ubuntu 8.04 at home.

Things to do on your on your new Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Harron Installation. I haven't done all of them (and don't really recommend jumping to all of them right away). I do specifically recommend doing #1 and #2 first though. (I'm just waiting for that to be quoted out of context.) Everything else is really optional.

10 Tips for After You Install or Upgrade Ubuntu. I especially like #9 and #10.

Have fun.

Bah, I tried to reply to this last night but was having network issues:

Talk to me when you've got Baltrix running, is what I tried to say.
