| 660924 | 2008-04-21 19:46:00 | News article from the BBC in England about the new Linux Ubuntu Hardy Heron, quite interesting reading. Link Here (news.bbc.co.uk) :cool: |

| 660925 | 2008-04-21 21:13:00 | Cool, nice little review, would have liked to have heard them rant & rave a little about 8.04's new features :) And installing it onto a Windows partition, thats cool, many distro's turned away from that ability a few years ago (Back when Redhat released 8.0 was the last mainstream distro I really knew of), but its nice to see them bringing it back :) |

| 660927 | 2008-04-22 02:55:00 | It installs Ubuntu onto a windows partition, so you dont have to reformat. In Doze, you see it as one or two large files (Probably on the root of your drive), thats all :) |

| 660928 | 2008-04-22 05:26:00 | OK, so it still needs a separate partition,doesn't run on C, although I take it that root is C? So does it run similar to an OS in Virtual PC ? Thanks. | Neil McC (178) | ||
| 660929 | 2008-04-22 05:32:00 | And I thought from the thread title that I was going to be able to put Linux on my old BBC computer! | rumpty (2863) | ||
| 660930 | 2008-04-22 08:02:00 | So would I need to create another primary partition as you normally do to install Ubuntu or does it just load onto the existing C drive? I have C and E dives C being XP and E being all my data | gary67 (56) | ||
