Nice application for Linux users…But I am not one of them
I installed ubuntu once on my PC and crashed the whole hard disk. I will not take the risk again
Ohhh but I don think so Linux wil harm you machine
maybe there was just a problem with repartitioning and stuff…
It is definitely an awesome application to Linux users. It has a lot of options to play with.
But I m not familiar with Linux
To Simran,
Did you install it properly step by step? You can ask someone help if you need to.
Now I learned how to install it
Thanks BTW
heh, fr the title I thought there was some software out there for all the Wicans
LOL, you’ve got a wild imagination
It’s for Linux.
it’s nice that this is the linux app
Nice theme dude
The current theme is looking better than the previous one but it would be more better if you can change the header to something attractive.
Hey Ravi..Even I am agree with Simran.. Please change the Header logo if possible and if u want to design one then mail me @ vishalgaikar@gmail.com
I will provide u one..
hmmm… I’m not a linux user so this one’s not for me
I too installed ubuntu but looks pretty tough for me
what ubuntu installer for windows did you use?
keeping it along with windows 7..
Wow that’s a great news
please provide me download link if possible
perhaps you can try this: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-wubi
(But I haven’t tried that yet)
BTW is linux way better thn windows ? for me windows is very much user friendly and easy to use
Yup, windows fits us perfectly because we’re used to it
We don’t get to see many Linux computers these days (here in the Philippines)
@Dany
Linux is better than Windows but for normal users it is difficult to understand. It has some features better than Windows
Few days back i used it in my college and I fell in love with it.
Linux is an Open source OS and it;s really awesome.. But It’s not for ordinary users
U have to learn more about this to be familier with it
hmmm.. I guess me and Danny still have a lot of learning to do… but for now, I’ll stick with Windows
@ Dany
I can say that Linux is always better than windows but for developers coz its not easy to understand.
I worked on it b4 some days
Ravi, maybe you can write a basic guide on the difference between linux and windows… just a suggestion… coz I’m really interested on knowing more about linux now…
Even I am agree with Ellen.. Start writing about Linux and Windows !!
