Computer Update

Ubuntu and Xubuntu are working great and are sharing the same home partition and swap along with the same username. Windows still won’t boot. I’ll try moving things around on its hard drive by putting the Windows Data partition first and Windows last.

I fixed the problem with ubuntu by, well I don’t know its initial problem but I had to adjust some settings in the profile folder (/home/jms1989) and fix the permissions and owner and groups. Once the bug was squashed, Ubuntu and Xubuntu loaded just fine. Still can’t get to the 6 console screens, I just have a blinking underscore. If you have any ideas why, please post them in the comments. Cheers!

Xubuntu

So, now its Xubuntu’s turn. After having some experience with Ubuntu on my computer and xubuntu on my compaq computer, I figured I’d try it. After booting from the CD, it worked good. I was even able to write to my ntfs partitions straight out of the box. Most distros haven’t matured enough to write to ntfs. It found all my file systems and works ok. I’m currently trying to install it so I’ll see how it goes from there.

If you’d like to try it youself, you’ll find it here.
