Ubuntu 8.04 64bit

 

My computer has been working great with Windows 7 RC.  I am a fan of Windows 7. 
  I was sitting here and I just decided that I wanted to try Ubuntu 64 bit again.  I have used Ubuntu a long time and have had it set up in the past on this computer to dual boot with Windows.
  I knew there would be danger but I wanted to try 64 bit.
  So I have just installed it here.  When I re-boot I see a boot loader giving me the choice of Ubuntu or Windows but I have not attempted to get into Windows yet.  Cross your fingers.

  I have a DVD for Ubuntu 9.04 but it does not say 32 bit or 64 bit on it. I could not find it anyplace. My guess is that the install program might ask which you want but I had an old DVD of Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit so I decided to use it.
  That install went OK.  Then it told me there was a new version 8.10 and I installed it. 
  I am surprised I have not see any notice to upgrade to 9.04 yet.

  I have not got Flash working yet and you need that for YouTube and lots of other stuff.

  I did install Cheese and it works with my Logitech 9000 Pro.
