are you sure is a live CD?

ubuntulinux , there's two iso to download, one is a livecd , another is a installation cd. the livecd can be booted and u r inside ubuntulinux, no need installation auto detect all hardware. the installation cd take around 30 minutes to get installed, ready with gnome gui, open office and firefox ; just like a normal pc with net surfing and document typing....

argh GNOME! I personally perfer KDE. It has very limited features which I'll have to download the other softwares that I need. Overall it's still a good distro. Worth trying

[

Maybe I put request to MIMOS OpenSouce to have a mirror in Malaysia, so that you can have faster download

wow. I have a problem with the installation! My screen look damn besar!!! maybe because I salah tekan or what??? and the gambar were horrible. sucker than black and white colour!!! help me!!! I use Virtual PC 2004 to test it!

When I first boot into the system using LiveCD..
I plan to get online..
So I proceed to change the config for eth0..
But, it seems like we need root password to do that..
And they didn't provide root password!
Finally I found the solutions on ubuntu forum..
sudo...

received my cds just recently.long wait man.huhuh the live cd works fine.havent tried to go online yet.whatz the solution kons?

The root account is disabled when you first install Ubuntu. The first user created during the installation has administrative rights on the system, and can run programs as root with sudo, using only their normal user password. For example: sudo apt-get update.
If you wish to use the root account in more traditional UNIX fashion, you can set the root password by typing sudo passwd root. This will allow you to use su or login as root on the console.
If you need a shell with root privileges, run sudo -s.
All uses of sudo will require the user's password.

If you're still new in Ubuntu Linux, you can try the brief and simple guide from this link: http://ubuntuguide.org/. Oh yeah, the author is a Malaysian

for those who are keen on tryin ubuntu 5.04 hoary (upcoming release), the still workin in progress guide is here

http://www.ubuntuguide.org/temp
once the port is complete, will then move it to the main page

sorry new here,
i am interested to hv a set of this ubuntu discs...
is it TOTALLY free?

[quote]All orders placed are for Ubuntu 5.04 "Hoary Hedgehog" CDs. Ubuntu 5.04 will not be released until the beginning of April. All orders made between now and April will not be shipped until at least the mid-April.[/qupte]

if i order now will i get this latest version ( upcoming 1 )or older 1

It's totally free, including the shipping fees. All of the costs incurred are sponsored by the foundation company. All you have to do is to fill the form and wait, usually about 1 - 2 months.

It's already past 1st April (5.04 release date). Today is April 3rd, so don't worry, you will get the latest one.
