Ubuntu Torrent · DIGIT-ARC

guys i just want to try ubuntu gusty gibbon..

can any one answer my following question

1.) shall i wait for the release in the digit dvd or shall idownload from net??
2>) if so .. is there a torrent related to gusty gibbon... idont want to loose a file while downloading in the normal method..

3.) wht is the procedure / step to have a dual boot along with vista??

1. If u dont have fast internet wait for Digit to give..

2. Download the .torrent file from ubuntu site and use it from a torrent client to start downloading.

3. Install Vista First.... Create two new raw partitions.. One with 6+ GBs.. to install OS and other within 1 GB for SWAP memory...

While installing ubuntu, select the "Install GRUB Boot Loader" (It will be enabled by default)

So u have a dual boot now

[url="*releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent"]Download[/URL] torrent file here.
Procedure for dual boot.

S

download the torrent from linuxtracker.org .they give superfast leagal linux torrents.
make 2 partitions.one for swap.from 256 mb to 1 GB.i GB i wud reccomend so that u can use the swap for any second distro also.
make a partion for OS reccomended 10 GB + if u wanna use it regularly.
and yes do try GG coz it ROX.
guyz , i wanted to ask a ques that for how many distros can we use a single swap partition??

^^any number of distros can use a single swap partition.
as at any given time u will boot only a single distro.

^ All distro installations requires its own SWAP

What he meant to say was that the site is perfectly legal to visit and post here.

@shrish_nagar - Mostly it does, but in cases where it doesn't it isn't that difficult to make an adjustment to the currently active GRUB.

^^ okay.. let me try...

Thanks QM !

Enterprise editions of some distros are illegal to download and use from torrents unless you have paid for it.

@ Sg1 dont worry... there is no Illegal *nix distros....
