From 23 April 2009, Canonical has released Ubuntu 9.04 Linux , Codenamed Jaunty Jackalope. developing Jaunty Jackalope, programmers have focused on creating a more stable system of salami previously, introducing innovations that should be appreciated by users.
Among the various news was made even faster and easier the process of installation.
We note the introduction of a new theme called "New Wave" that gives the system a stylish and professional look.
The Linux kernel used is 2.6.28, which is a larger number of drivers (especially with regard to support for Wi-Fi cards) and the filesystem previously considered experimental Ext4 (successor the widespread Ext3) has been promoted to stable.
The Gnome desktop environment comes to version 2.26 and introduces the Universal Plug and Play in Totem, the media player now supports streaming better. Improvements also Evolution mail client, now more efficient in the connessiome mail server with Microsoft Exchange and can more easily import data from Outlook. Finally
between applications including OpenOffice 3.0 can remember. And all
* * lawful and free, what you ask for?
You can install this operating system as the only OS of a machine ... but also as an additional operating system on a Windows machine, said another way you can have a machine with two operating systems at startup to choose what they want.
There are no particular differences between the two procedures to install the part disk partitioning.
If you install Ubuntu 9.04 as the only OS there are no special warnings prior, during installation of the HD is formatted with the entirely new file system.
If you choose to have a machine with two operating systems (Windows and Linux) is always a good idea to first do the following:
- Data Backup (preferably a clone of the hard disk with operating system)
- Disk Defragmenter
HAPPEN TO INSTALL
you need a CD or DVD to Ubuntu. How to get it?
- downloading the program for burning for free and legally from http://www.ubuntu.com
- always require the free CD on this site (you have to wait about six weeks)
- using the DVD provided the computer magazine (bootable or to create an ISO image)
The first screen asks us to choose the languages, I assume will be Italian, but of course you are absolutely free to do anything whatever you like.
choice language choices we pass to the second screen that asks us how to start your PC. Of the various options I recommend you choose Ubuntu installation without trial. It will be slower than the normal version, but this allows you to use Ubuntu without installing it again, verifying that it works properly on your machine.
Try this operating system, and if it encounters (I'm sure) your approval at this point you can choose to install it.
Just double click on 'get called iconcina and start the process to make your linux machine!
First you are asked to use the language you want
The time zone
and settings from the keyboard (except for emergencies limit yourself to confirm and continue the process)
Now if you already have an operating system such as Windows XP already installed it comes time to choose : a) If you install Ubuntu as the only operating system, the ' option "Use the whole disk ", and then deleting the old system.
b) Or opt for the installation of the Ubuntu option with two operating systems choosing "Install along with other operating systems at startup choosing."
In the latter case is to partition the Hard disck, leaving a space reserved for Windows system and obtaining a space to be reserved al sistema Linux Ubuntu.
Segnalo la possibilità di montare prima del processo un secondo hard disck sul vostro computer, in questo caso non serve partizionare; ogni sistema operativo avrà il suo hard disk dedicato.
Se scegliete di usare un solo hard disck partizionato questa operazione può essere gestita automaticamente da Ubuntu. Per gli utenti più esperti è comunque sempre possibile gestire la partizione manualmente con comandi da tastiera.
Se vi compaiono informazioni sui file di SWAP presenti/assenti non preoccupatevi, per l'utente comune non è essenziale approfondire questo punto, proseguite pure.
Terminata la fase di partizione vi chiederà il vostro nome, il nome utente da utilizzare sul computer, la password (attenti a non scordare questi dati, rischiate di dover rifare tutto), il nome del PC e se accedere in automatico al sistema.
Se avete scelto due sistemi operativi vi chiederà se desiderate importare alcune impostazioni da windows, fate a vostro gusto non c'è problema.
A questo punto comparirà una schermata con un breve sommario e il titolo " Pronto per l'istallazione "
Confermate con " Installa "... e lasciatelo lavorare, ci vorrà parecchio tempo (indicativamente il tempo di preparare due spaghetti aglio/olio/peperoncino)
Dopo parecchio lavorio comparirà la schermata che vi conferma l'installazione
Togliete il CD d'installazione e riavviate la macchina. Se avete scelto due sistemi operativi al riavvio ci troveremo la possibilita' di scegliere su usare Ubuntu o Windows. (scelta da tastiera con freccia sù - freccia giù e Invio).
Lasciate la scelta proposta che è Ubuntu e buon lavoro... a proposito non avete scordato nome utente e password che avete impostato vero?
