After attending Intel Developer Network meeting regarding their Moblin community, I was really liked to install Ubuntu on my machine.

After a month, I got a Live DVD of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I was really stunned the way Ubuntu organize the installation steps. Wit 7 smart steps, you can install Ubuntu without any technical challenges. But I've faced issues in disk allocation in Live CD mode. The guided option is not soo smart. It tried to swallow my Windows partition. The manual option throws error. After that I came into installation mode and used manual disk allocation. This time Ubuntu installed successfully.

Once completed the installation, I have configured my Internet connection through my Wifi without any issues.

One thing I hate with major Linux distros is that they have installed most of the softwares under a same category. For example, for Programming, KDevelop, QtDesigner, etc have been installed. But Ubuntu is very clear on this. If you want then install.

Ofcourse, one thing I still feel bad is the unhealthy fonts.
