messing with ubuntu

Started messing with Ubuntu for a piece I am doing. The show install is in a week, so I am kinda cutting it close but I really do need to get back to some sorda linux distro. Ubuntu seems to be all the rage, so I am jumping on the bandwagon so to speak.

Quick tech note: Compiling C code can be a bit annoying at first on this platform. In the great tradition of OSX (which doesn’t include a C compiler period) the folk at Cannonical give you gcc without any of the libraries:) grrrr!  (SOLUTION: <apt-get update> followed by <apt-get install build-essential>)

other then the above annoyence a smooth ride so far :)

    Gcc without libraries? Anarchy!!! I call shenanigans!

    This reminds me that I bought my own copy of that Unix book I borrowed from you last spring. It’s in one of these boxes somewhere…

    yup. you can explore Unix (technically posix) goodness on your Mac using that nice book, though group management and some other admin stuff is w-a-a-a-ay different in OsX.
