Customer Reviews of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS DVD (PC Edition) (Jewel Case)
Far exceeded my expectations!!! Ubuntu's latest release (Dapper Drake) has a much smaller memory footprint than Windows and Mac OS, therefore freeing up system resources for other apps. I can run Matlab, Mathematica, Divx/Xvid/AC3 movies, etc. Furthermore, Open Office, which comes bundled with Ubuntu, is perfectly compatible with MS Office and has the added ability to make PDF files. Basically, I can do everything I could with XP, but without XP hogging system resources. An OS should be stable, secure, versatile and efficient. It scores a perfect five in each of these categories. Its a shame people don't realize that they have a choice to Windows/Mac domination. My switch to Linux has been extremely pleasant to the extent that I'm shocked.
I'm not so sure about this version of Ubuntu
I bought the DVD, put it in my DVD drive and booted from it only to discover that the installation attempt failed several times. I found that I had to install via the OEM mode in order to get the installation working. Once I finally did get the installation to begin working, I found that in order to partition my drives (I have 2 of them) I had to know what size a partition was going to be before I knew what directory I was going to allocate to it (sort of how you have to do it with FreeBSD). At the same time, I could not set up Logical Volume Management... I didn't know where to begin! Finally after attempting several times to install, I finally opted for 'preconfigured' installation with preconfigured options in OEM mode. I figured that would at least get it installed so I can try it out.

>Once I finally got it installed, I was confused by the necessity to run scripts as 'oem'. I also found that the soundcard did not work for any user except root. I tried to play with permissions, but was not able to get this to work right.
<
>In general, the installation was confusing and not smooth at all. So far the only installation that goes smooth enough for me is Fedora Core.
<
>I understand that there are some problems with this particular version of Ubuntu, so I will have to try again when I can get my hands on some documentation and see what happens.
<
>On the plus side, I will say that the ability to run the whole OS from the DVD is very good. This lets you see what you are getting before you install, which is done from the running version.
I haven't been able to install it yet.
I, unfortunately, have been unable to install this product
