Learning Linux Desktop for Beginner Part 2

Hi, it is part 2 from Learning Linux Desktop for Beginner serials. Now we will go ahead into something different.

2. Try
After reading, you should do trying. Obtain a copy of Ubuntu[1] and install it in your computer. So the steps are:

1. Instal Ubuntu
2. Use it for daily usage
3. Find a problem, or more
4. Solve it

You can get Ubuntu in your computer by getting the ISO file, then burn it to CD, then boot your computer using it. You can find how to install Ubuntu through Google. Further, I will make this part 2 longer by explaining it, insya Allah.

This Blog Created for Adsense

Hello World! Before, I have a blog in Indonesian and Google has denied for giving Adsense. It done so many times with same denial message in my inbox. I don't know why, even Adsense Forum Indonesia don't know what is the problem. I've asked there. So, I create my new blog purely in English to get Adsense again. I don't wanna give up :)

The main topic of this blog are Linux and Windows. To be more specific, I added desktop. Why? I am Windows user for some years and enjoyed with it. Then now I am a Linux user. I have some applications knowledge and some other stuff related with software (no hardware, please). And from this, you'll know that I am software enthusiast :) Another important thing is I am neutralist in technology. I use what I need as long as they are legal. This means I guarantee that no piracy content in this blog including crack or black serial number. So, I will start my debut here. I hope I can get my first money from Adsense. Thank you...
