- goofballjm, on 10/20/2007, -8/+52Call me a troll if you will, but why on earth would you install a beta version of an operating system on a machine for someone who has no idea how to install an O/S?
- angrykeyboarder, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19The author's poor attempt at humor. Actually, it's not even poor, it's just lame.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15It's a joke article.
- iirrkk, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16Cmon guys, it's satire, it even says so in the very first sentence. They're saying that any idiot with half of a brain can install Ubuntu.
- estaticd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14ToadLeg: This article is 99.7% joke. (0.3% standard deviation)
- oregonbob2000, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11I loaded Ubuntu 7.04, easiest install I ever did. It automatically got everything right except my video card. A little search fixed that. I'm a consultant and Ubuntu finally has polished up Linux desktop to be The Best Desktop. It is like a cross - best of Mac and best of Windows. Ubuntu is superb.
Last night, with around four clicks, I completely upgraded it to Gusty 7.10 Beta. So far it is flawless, except the same video card mis-detection. I have used them all and this is the Best Yet! - allyant, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12Im using OSX, and I am still going to digg you down.
- estaticd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11At least this is not JUST a guide... ;)
- noname202, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9As people so kindly pointed out to me in my last comment (thank you): RTFA, it's a joke.
- chugger1992, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9oh, so that's how you do it.
- schestowitz, on 10/10/2007, -9/+14Nice.
Where is the waiver (EULA) stage? You know, the one where you allow Canonical to break the 'repair' option even if you block updates? - seattle98104, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Never premise a joke by stating "this is a joke".
- compgeek, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5rofl this is a joke people learn to read. it WAS NOT meant to be taken seriously
- Purin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6No love for VirtualBox? :(
- srg13, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5If you're going to make a joke, please actually select hardware that is not already fully supported...
- utterer, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6It's as easy as 1, 2, 3 (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)!
- mmmiiikkkeee, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6are you talking about windows vista???
- Phocion55, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5You can always install it in KVM or VMWare.
But...yeah.....you probably wouldn't need this if you have that stuff already running. - adderx99, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/black_hat_support.png
- bonedygr, on 10/10/2007, -5/+8Granpa: Cool, so how do I use that iPod you got me last christmas?
Me: Well it's easy, see there's this thing called the kernel... - cubeeggs, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3How do I do it in Parallels? You'd think it would be easy, but it's not.
- leroj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2about that psychiatrist...
- Buelldozer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Because it works that damn well. I've been running it since the Tribe 1 release and have yet to have a problem with it!
- imac79, on 10/13/2007, -1/+3I agree. I was just about to put that up here. Hey Einstein aka estaticd how do I do I install it on a Mac with Parallels and have the display be 1440X900? Also, you better make it humorous!
- estaticd, on 10/18/2007, -0/+2As a result of this comment, I tried to insall Wubi though WINE (on gutsy) - it completed installing, and then my computer and I were sucked into a time warp. I'm actually writing this from the future.
- PinkoComrade, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2wubi! damnit! (although it is fiesty)
http://wubi-installer.org/ - estaticd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2For what graphics card and wireless chipset?
- Sushubh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2i installed it. first i messed up my 7.04 installation. then i messed up my grub. but i am back. and it works fine. and i like it!
- estaticd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2How about a haiku?
A Mac Book in black
Call me a fashionista
I will aquire
Can you wait two weeks? I'll write a few articles just for you :) - CCmachined, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1best of Mac and best of Windows?!
no, its one of the best of Open Source. forget about all your closed-source proprietary OS crap, please.
P.S. w00t i misspelled proprietary and it was spellchecked in-browser so i knew xD - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Old_User56 writes:

Ok, how the fsck did these people ever hear about linux in the first place? - FTLJohnson, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3I guess I'm suffering DHAVD or whatever... buried as lame.
- estvir, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Your tin foil is on too tight.

- raintheory, on 10/10/2007, -3/+41. Insert Live-CD
2. Double-click "Install"
I count only 2 steps... call me crazy. - Buelldozer, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3That was kind of funny!
- MickJT, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1They're forgetting to set the BIOS to boot from the CD first.
.. and it looks like they're going to format the entire drive. Nice. - CCmachined, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1lets get it to 710 diggs to show our support for Gutsy :D
..Why Not? - scyon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This one is great (mostly because it really happens. for me. your customers may be better than mine, I don't know):
7. “Ok, double click on the Install icon on the desktop. It’s on the left part of the screen. Near the top. Other left.” - pilot101, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1In other words, ubuntu just works ;)
- holydope, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That's great! :-)
- roomforpanic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You have to manually add that resolution in the setup of the vm before you boot it. Click 'Edit' on Parallels and go to the video section.
- kevmaster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1And this is how to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy:

- CCmachined, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1ATi are getting much, much better in terms of drivers. they released their chip specs and are making opensource drivers now, thats to AMD.... =D
broadcom etc wireless cards are still a bother. why cant you just get a wire? though nearly all intel cards will work fine out the box. my laptop did :D - DAC1138, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Pretty funny, but I actually liked this. It's practical. I bookmarked this so I can show my friends/parents/relatives. And it really is as simple as that for ubuntu (on most machines). Mine requires a third party Xserver driver because of a bug in my BIOS. (laptop)
- Deltablade, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1@goofballjm:
Did you read the article? - Macskeeball, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Buried for having an autoscrolling graphic. I hate those things with a passion.
- Drood, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2I upgraded from Feisty last night and had several issues which took a couple of hours to fix, but yeah, for the most part, this BETA is better than XP. Two big selling points for me are being able to WRITE to NTFS now, and Compiz built in. Though I wish I the snow plugin was there. (Can't get it working at all with various downloads.)
- estaticd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Thumbs up! LOL
