Seriously. 30 minutes. No joke. And let me tell you, it’s slick. Even just looking at the difference in the size between the OS makes me wonder why I haven’t been honing my linux skills all along (to my credit, I used unix pretty exclusively for years when I was in college yet did not have a computer).

Linoob -- I always wanted to go open source, but like you said, it was super complicated with drivers and such. I had dabbled with red hat, and like i mentioned in the blog, Suse, but Ubuntu really took my breath away. So, not only does my computer boot in 10 seconds or less, I don't have to pay an arm and a leg for the OS! YAY! Martin,

Liked the post. I have previously dabbed in Linux and gave up the first time with Red Hat due to missing drivers and the second time using VMWare. Tird time was the charm after installing it on my ex-work IBM Thinkpad T43 laptop. I had some problems with some backup software so re-installed it and my experience was similar to yours - did take about 30 minutes. This is so funny. Liked the post.
