Fist day with Ubuntu edgy
I wait for a long time to install Ubuntu on a PC, because right now, I have not a PC. Fortunately, I found an old PC in my Lab (P4 1.4G, 256M memory, not so good, but it's enough to install Ubuntu).
1. Only one ISO need to be downloaded, only 6 steps to install it, I have to say it maybe the easiest way to install Linux. I meet a problem when make partition for the hard disk, the Gparted doesn't recognize the partition table on the disk, I don't know what's wrong with it, but when I take another disk, everything is OK.
2. Reboot, enter the user name and the password. Yeah! we have done it. It's so easy to install Ubuntu than other distributions. The theme is so attractive and clean. I like it.
3. Because there is only one ISO, if you want to install other software(yes, we have to), you can easily apt-get. Wait a minute, In our Lab, I can't directly access outside, I have to connect through a proxy server. At first, the administrator tells me you can only use the socks 5 protocol. Google "apt-get socks proxy", I find that there is a tool called "dante" can do this job. Download the source code and compile it, but error is countered, I can't build it, because I need to "apt-get install build-essential". It drives me crazy, the deadlock happens! So I try another way to solve it. Then I find a deb package of "dante", install it, used it like this "socksify apt-get update", but it doesn't work, I don't know the reason. When I was frustrated by the proxy, I logged on our proxy server, which is windows server, the proxy server is ccproxy, I started the http proxy and "export http_proxy=hostname:port" on my terminal(I found adding the "Acquire:http:proxy "hostname:port";" to the /et/apt/apt.conf doesn't work for me). Finally, I can apt-get now!
4. enjoy the life of ubuntu!
