Wubi Tuesday
It used to be that you’d have to tweak your kernel for your hardware, recompiling and reloading just to make sure everything worked just fine. Then there was scripting the bootloader, making sure that all your OSes worked together.Perhaps you needed to hack together an appropriate driver for some obscure piece of hardware, before shutting down and rebooting all over again. It was a detective novel and a multi-dimensional jigsaw puzzle all rolled into one.
I have a sneaking feeling that after having done all that back in the days of the 0.8 kernel and with more than a handful of Gentoo installs, I really should I be feeling a little guilty as to just how easy it was to get a dual-boot Linux install working on my main desktop PC.
I’d decided quite early on that I’d go the way of the mainstream, and try out Canonical’s Ubuntu.
