Great video thanks. I’m not a professional only a home user but I love ubuntu. I installed it on a 7yr old laptop with a 20gb hard drive and 1256 ram. I mostly use it as a media centre. I’ve connected it too an av amp through a soundblaster usb box and use an external hard drive for my media. Everything sounds and works great.

thank you very very much
I should call you MISTER ELI with upper case letters , you are the man !!!

You are they Man!!! You are doing a great job will all your videos. I have a question for you. I would like to setup a little network for my kids in my house with one host computer and 4 NC600 thin client with 4 workstations (Monitors-keyboards and mice). After I view your Linux videos I think I will go with Ubuntu desktop but I don’t know if you can help me with how to setup the NC600 in Ubuntu.
Thanks
I haven’t played with them honestly. I’d say just follow the instructions.
Okay. Thanks
you are the Man Eli, very clear instruction. I like your effort. it is absolutely cool.
Hey Eli, I tried to install ubuntu 11.0 34bit desktop version but even after completing hours of installation I was unsuccessful, even after I got the message tht the installation has completed pls reboot I followed the procedure it was unsuccessful, I got a prompt (black and white windows) where the showed me some error msg and asked me to type help for the available commands. plz get back to me ASAP!! Thank you
Its an rasy process as long as your hardware is ok… Your computer may have hardware issues you dont know about. Try installing it on a different PC.
Hey Eli, I have followed the exact installation procedure of Ubuntu Server. The installation was successful but when I restarted my computer I couldn’t find Windows 7 in the Grub menu. I have tried tools like the Super Grub Disk to view to list of OSs on my harddisk but it was of no help. All that I could find was Ubuntu Server. I was wondering if there any possible solution to recover my lost Windows. Please help!
I look forward to hear from you as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Peobably not… If you do dual boot you want to install Linux first and then Windows second… Or use a tool called Wubi…
Most likely when you installed linux you dleted the Windows partition
thanks for a great work that you share with the community. I found your videos since i am a user that wants to learn linux and some it. i had ubuntu and now i m with suse which i researched is better for the thinkpad. anyways i like to learn basic thinks like how to copy or burn the iso in the pendriver and make partitions. i read articles but they are all based on windows. they assume that you are in os windows trying to do thinks. i like to learn how to work in the suse console. is there any online course or videos as you have that you recommend or give me a tip please.
with your attitude you demonstrated that is possible bring thinks to people for free and at the same time make a profitable business. that is excellent. thanks for your time
