I messed up the Windows 8 boot partition on my laptop last night while trying to install Ubuntu in a dual-boot situaion. I wasn’t going to keep Ubuntu on for long. I had booted it from a USB stick previously. So why wasn’t booting Ubuntu from a USB stick good enough, and how did I [...]

One of the biggest complaints I hear from new Ubuntu users is how easy it is to mess up an existing Ubuntu installation. Whether the issue stems from an update gone wrong, the hard drive crashing (which is actually a hardware issue) or simply the user deleting a directory best left untouched isn’t the point. [...]

The Zealz GK802 is a little device about the size of a chunky USB flash drive. But unlike a flash drive, the GK802 is a fully functional little computer with a quad-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of storage. It ships with Google Android software, but it can also run Ubuntu and other Linux-based [...]

The only problem was that it comes with Windows 8 preloaded, but I figured I’m going to have to bite the bullet and have a go at Windows 8 sooner or later, so why not. The good news was that I checked the specifications very carefully, and there was no mention of “UEFI” or “Secure [...]

While Windows installer allows you to choose the components you want to install, of course to a certain degree, I have not seen any Linux installers so far which give you the same level of choice. Unfortunately, most Linux installers only allow you to copy the contents of a distribution ISO image to the hard [...]

In this month’s print edition of PC World, reader David Crickmer mentions he’d like to see a series about getting started in Linux. Since this blog largely revolves around the portly penguin, I thought I’d give it a go …And I have chosen Ubuntu for the guide

There’s a kind of two-step process to installing Ubuntu Linux on a system: running through the actual installation, then booting into the desktop and waiting for a huge load of updates to download. Use a Minimal image instead, and you’ll install directly from up-to-date repositories.

Today I have full instructions on how to install and run Ubuntu on your Motorola Xoom tablet. The method this uses is to install Ubuntu in a chroot “jail” to keep it separate of all Android processes… similar to how a Virtual Machine (Virtualbox, Parallels, VMware) runs an x86 operating system
