I think I was asked to enter my username and password, my name, then choose the nearest city for time zone and select my keyboard layout.  I installed it in VMWare fusion.  It launched immediately, and told me there are updates to install.  OK. 

Out of the box, it includes Open Office with Draw (a visio alt), Firefox, CD Burning, Gimp image editing, A CD extractor, pidgin messaging, a soft phone.  Seriously, its pretty sick. 

Anyone interested in learning Linux definitely owes it to theyself to fire up a virtual instance and kick the tires. 

I’m planning to head to Ruby Hoedown in AL this summer.  I’m too old to be cool but perhaps I can get some props for knowing how to use Bash.

Dan Morris would probably like to smack me upside the head for all the trouble I gave him.  Who knew how easy Linux was?
