You can get Ubuntu install disks from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu

Software Freedom Day is coming up soon (September 19, 2009). If one of the Linux or other computer groups near you is sponsoring this event, they will also have Ubuntu Install disks, and will likely be able to help you with problems or questions.

The Ubuntu site also has excellent, responsive forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/

Check to see if there is a Linux user group near you: http://www.linux.org/groups/ (Sometimes the best path is face to face)

Would dad give me an ubuntu install disk to install ubuntu on my failed arklinux install on a new 160 G ide drive I bought? I want to learn about linux but I can’t get through the iso burn process. I don’t understand the why’s involved and can’t get it right. I downloaded an iso overnight and it is on my harddisk but the recommnded infrareader won’t burn the iso. Maybe it’s still jzipped, there is no way to find out. I’m reminded of Jack Nicholson. “It’s Chinatown”, I’ll never find out, it is just a waste of time to try.

I have been google searching for “linux mint and macpup”. That is how I stumpled over your blog. The Frankenfest idea is quite inspiring. Since this is a follow-up I also went to the previous article of Frankenfest. In that article you mentionend Travelin’ Rob’s Linux Mint cheat sheet.

I would be interested in that Mint cheat sheet. Would it be possible to pass it on?
