    @ufikes obviously. maybe they want to download it onto their home computer.

    I’ll just append some Information and try not to judge this howto (which is horrible):
    1. If you need this howto, skip step 2 and just download Kubuntu.
    2. DON’T buy a Linux. There’s is enough support in the internet (Google your Problem). Try wiki.ubuntu.com
    3. As G33kZ0r said, the list command is LS not is.
    AND NEVER USE WUBI.
    If you do, your system will die in ~1 month.
    Just insert your Linux CD, and reboot. The rest should explain itself.

    Thumbs up, so my comment’s on the top of the vid.

    I think Linux is the best for PC and if you don’t want to pay quite much money for a MAC. I use and like both :)

  4. ufikes says:

    @shannonjones95 Isn’t that a computer with internet access?

  5. brandonr85 says:

    Firefox FTW!

  6. S3ANnnnn says:

    HAHHAHAH cp command

  7. J0RDSKI says:

    Ubuntu is awesome if your not a skript kiddie, but windows is more compatible with most software. If more people used Linux and made software for it therefore making it more compatible Microsoft would be screwed.

    I think Windows is Greatest
    Linux is good if it web server but not good in use
    Mac Look Good Like High Tech but in real not
    Mac is almost useless

    @DIMATIF It might be complicated because you spell this like dis.

  10. DIMATIF says:

    Dis is like scripting and is so complicated 0_0

    “Switching from Windows to Linux”, yet the guy is using a Mac.
    I assume that was on purpose as a joke attempt lol

  13. G33kz0r says:

    @TahGamer Macs can dual-boot Windows with Boot Camp.

  14. G33kz0r says:

    This video contains an error; the list command is “LS”, not “IS”.

  15. elphaba1300 says:

    GIMP FTW.

  16. ufikes says:

    How the hell are people watching this if they don’t have a computer with internet access?

  17. remember11220 says:

  19. perfectlyMessy says:

  20. TJC450 says:

    @GHardstyle not me

  21. TJC450 says:

    linux blows

  22. freaks182 says:

    @TahGamer he’s using ubuntu.. not a mac.

  23. espio142 says:

    so much fail in one video :’(

  24. chauden says:

    Why should you learn Linux “commands”? You won’t need them. Want to copy a file? Drag&Drop it, or simply use ctrl+c and ctrl+v, as you would do in any other OS. If this were 2005, learning the commands was, indeed, needed. Today? Not so much, the usability of the Linux improved in jumps.

    If you *can* or *want* to pay, yeah, buy a Mac, or Windows. Otherwise, Linux distros like Ubuntu archived a nice status already. And it is free.

  25. TahGamer says:

    Fail, The guy is using a MAC wile the video tells us it’s windows.
