Ubuntu on Acer

I have been using this Acer 5310 for a few Months now which I bough 2nd Hand
Quite cheap locally When I first Bought It I seen That Although I had a 80 GB Hard Drive I was Running Out of Space. The Previous Owner who I know had the C: Drive Almost filled because of some setting which made a copy of every Song that was Played on it but that was 30 GB plus the Back up of 30 and he Rest was Vista home which I did not intend to use.


I got it planning to put Ubuntu on it as soon as Possible.Besides not being able to Run Some Programs I think I have had not much Difficulty making to switch to the Open Source world. It's such a shame that 98% of the Computer Market is using Windows because the don't seem to know any Different and Are Afraid to Break free from Microsoft because they are Brainwashed that Windows is the Only Operating System Available.

What I have in Ubuntu is enough Open office comes Installed in the Package which takes care of Word processing and Spreadsheets. Gimp is a Photoshop style Program with many great features allowing me to make things like banners for mu blog and more. Bit Torrent come by default Installed so no Problems downloading large files. A disk Burner and Much more Great Programs Apart From the Movie Player which is not so good but you can Download VlC Player which takes care of that problem.

And another thing is I don't have to install software for my phone and Printers most things work out of the box and I have an extra 70 gb to save my Files. So if you are getting tired of looking for Anti Virus and Drivers for thing on your computer why not look at Ubuntu as you don't need anti virus and it's all free.

What you need to Install Ubuntu

download the Ubuntu live Cd From Here

Make sure you have an ISO Burner

Burn the Image to a Blank Cd

Try it on your computer to see if it is compatible

Use it a few times and if you like it install it on your hard drive






I hope this make you think more about your choice of Operating System before you Go and Buy Windows 7.Here is one of my favorite linux blog posts

It can Be Hard Writing a Post

Image via Wikipedia

I had been quite distracted on trying to write this post so I will base the post on interuptions. Having sat down to write it I was Disturbed many times I will not say what they were rather Say how I Stopped. Things Disturbing my writing of this Post. What I have done is Ignore Whatever else came to my mind while I was Typing I did not care about Anything else but this Post.My mind tried to Drift away to Other Important things But I did not let them because I want to Concentrate on this Post and this post Alone.

Sometimes , You have to be like this just to get your work or study done and I find that is when concentration tends to break. It could be a small thing at first that breaks your stride like you start feeling uncomfortable in your chair or your mobile phone rings. The usual fly on the screen story but you have to stay focused to get your blog done even as I type I notice that it's a little dark here but I am not standing up to turn on the light until I get the Basic Idea of the Post written.

There it goes again that cursor hopping typing away and next thing i see that I am a few lines back in my post and I have to make sence of what I was typing.That being a common misspelling of sense is another thing that does not help. If I am lucky I will remember what It was this blog post was about. If l let myself be Distracted it will be gone forever and I will loose all Inspiration . But this post is the most Important thing in my life at the moment because I need content for my blog.

Staying focused is Difficult but you have to force yourself to be Interested, When your mind is saying No. There are times when I am making blog posts that my mind drifts This is why I only type my blog posts in Notepad , Because I only see plain Text and no Formating to Annoy Me so I can , Just settle down and think about my post a little better. No I don't think so I am leaving this post as it is A post About Having problems Writing a post. It may not be Very Informative or Tell you the Answers to your Questions in a Life Coaching way, Or maybe it just asks you Questions and gives you No Information whatsoever . But the thing is it's a Post be it Good or Bad and I have ceased to write any more of it because thinking about Distractions is Distracting me from getting any work done.
