  • Installing Ubuntu on Virtual PC 2004

    I decided to give Ubuntu a try in Virtual PC to see how this distro works.  So far, I'm pretty damn impressed.  But getting it up and running in a Virtual PC wasn't quite as obvious as I hoped it would be.  Here are the steps if anyone else wants to try out this distro.  I basically just went through a default install, and when the thing booted up it freaked out on the display.  This is actually quite common with Linux distros that I've tried in Virtual PC.  Keep in mind, I'm not even too terribly sure how to pronounce Linux, so I just kinda faked my way through the steps.  You might know a really cool way to do some of these steps, and that would be great if you let me know
