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.
