ubuntuguide.org — UbuntuGuide.org has been updated for the latest version of Ubuntu. This is a huge guide that has tons of information on how to do just about anything in Ubuntu, including dealing with Windows partitions, networking, installing alternative desktop environments, and getting uncooperative graphics cards and wireless cards to work correctly.

Yikes, this server is going to crash now. UbuntuGuide.org has always been slow to respond -- Now it's getting dugg! hehe. I've been using Automatix (getautomatix.com) to install packages for a while now -- A lot less typing ;)

@ duhstupid (nice username, BTW)I agree with doodlebumm and greatblackowl. Why bother posting such a cryptic comment without any further explanation? You had the opportunity to share a (hopefully) valid critique, to bring up some good points that others might agree with, and in some small way contributed to the improvement of future Ubuntu releases!But instead wasted the opportunity by essentially just saying "I currently do not use Ubuntu". Well gee, thanks for that update, "duhstupid". Don't know why you bothered. You could've just submitted "First Post!" and had as much impact. Thanks for your participation.

"I appreciate having a database of all the important, yet non-obvious, things I need to do while in Ubuntu."That's what she said.

I'm going to install Ubuntu in a couple of minutes on my desktop and that link is going to be handy :). I hope i won't be disappointed, one thing I'm afraid of is setting up a dual boot as my hdd setup is not typical. I wish there was an automatic dual boot maker ....

If you have your own /home partition, you can upgrade to Feisty using the Live CD. Just format the root partition ("/") and leave your /home partition untouched. When the installer asks for your desired username, use the same username as the one on your current install. This method works very well, because it removes all the programs you've previously installed, giving you a "clean" install, but keeps your user-specific files and settings intact. I upgraded Kubuntu this way and haven't had any problems.

Ubuntu Guide is not official. For most purposes, it's actually redundant to the Offical documentation - which does include Kubuntu instructions. Check out <a class="user" href="http://help.ubuntu.com/community/">http://help.ubuntu.com/community/</a> *first* with your questions, and resort to stuff like Ubuntu Guide and the Forums only if the official site doesn't help.

How did you have the time to try ubuntu at all then? It would be nice if you had a bit more info in your comment.
