Hardy indeed
Anyway, I've been trying to get Ubuntu installed on the desktop because my laptop cable is doomed and I need to start my next lab assignment urgently. And... I guess I succeeded since I'm typing this from there. However... goddammit.
Yesterday I had to prepare everything for the installation. It went all
a) Ah! I need a couple of new partitions! But I need PartitionMagic for that.
b) Ah! I need to download a good copy of PartitionMagic! But damn, I still have no BitTorrent client!
c) Install BitComet. Download PartitionMagic. Install PartitionMagic.
d) Make the partitions. Wait gazillion years.
e) Ah! My Ubuntu disc is for 64bits so I'll have to get a new install CD!
f) Wait gazillion years for it to download.
g) Ah! But as I wait, I'll need Nero to burn the .iso.
h) Download Nero. Install it as I wait.
i) ...I have to reboot to make it work?! Denied! I'm at 40% of my Ubuntu download, bitch. Wait gazillion years.
j) Finally downloaded? Reboot. Burn CD.
k) Wait gazillion years while Linux gets installed. Play AJ on the meantime.
l) .......I just installed the wrong version WTF! *dies*
So I was all fuck it, and redownloaded and reinstalled Linux today.
...Twice, I reinstalled. Don't ask, I was made of fail.
But the beauty of it all was that Hardy Heron, the current distro, comes with a beta version of Firefox 3. And it sucks balls because it wouldn't let me install extensions. So I removed the shit out of it and installed Firefox 2.
........Except it gives me errors whenever I install an extension ;_____; What am I gonna do with no LJLogin?! Or the Gmail notification gizmo? Or Greasemonkey? GAH. WHAT DID I DO WRONG NOW.
ETA: FIXED IT T_T Thank God.

*subconcientemente pidiendo un zapatazo*
....
...¿qué?
y habla la que no ha instalado Linux porque no tiene un disco duro extra (o un reproductor de MP3 con espacio suficiente) para respaldar todas las cosas de las que tiene cundido el tarro.
