How to Install kubuntu Linux

[RavonTUS]

Greetings,

There are several distribution of Linux, many can be found here. However, the one I like is call kubuntu. It reminds me of Windows and I think that helps when you are trying to convert to a new OS.

Here is how to re-format your hard drive and install kubuntu.

kubuntu Desktop
1) Download kubuntu v7.4 and burn it to a CD.
2) Boot to the CD.
3) Click on the install icon.
4) Go with the default, unless you know what your doing.
5) Finally click on the "RESTART" when it is done.

Now do a quick update, similar to a Windows Update.
1) Click on the "K", the "START" button so to speak for Windows users.
2) Choose System, then Adept Package Manager.
3) Enter your "root" password (again to the XP folks that would be the admin password).
4) From the menu bar, pick Adept, then Manage Repositories.
5) Click the FETCH UPDATES icon. Wait for it to gather the patches & updates.
6) Click the FULL UPGRADE icon.
7) Click the APPLY CHANGES icon. Wait for it to load them all. Wait...Wait...Wait.
8) Reboot, once it is complete.

DONE! You now have an updated kubuntu desktop computer.
