Great guide, thanks. +1
hello guys, may I install a Linux version in a netbook Samsung and if it is so, which version?
I'd disagree and say go with Ubuntu. In my experience it's far easier to set up than Debian most of the time and I've had far better success with recommending it to newcomers than other distros (Debian included.) There's also a vast quantity of community support around for Ubuntu; much more than any other distro. Helpful if you get stuck.Any distro will work, but I highly recommend debian. You can also use ubuntu + unetbootin if you do not have a USB cd drive and do not want to do a network install, but ubuntu is a bit of a mess lately.
Fair enough - in that case Debian's moved on significantly since I last played around with it!Ubuntu and debian are the same to install, they use the same installer.
Ubuntu and debian are the same to install, they use the same installer.
Except once debian is installed, you're good. Just begin installing your programs. They even have ubuntu's GUI installer ported in case someoe does not want to use a terminal.
With ubuntu, you have to go find all your codecs and install them through a terminal, not the easiest thing if you are a compete noob to Linux. I am also confused by ubuntu's lack of ability to login as root. Sudo is not appropriate for everything.
