I did not have any difficulties installing the Ubuntu LiveCD, but reading the instructions made me really anxious. I used Ubuntu for some time two years ago, so I knew what to expect. I knew the interface, set-up, how the OS works, but I had installed Ubuntu on a computer back then and this time I am going to use the LiveCD on a computer which is not mine and which I am not going to use in a month. Once I did it, I relaxed. It was the old interface and everything worked as expected. I repeated the re-boot, played with the language options, and then started the Terminal application.
I worked my way through the tutorials - the ones in the VTC were well accompagnied by the lessons from Learning the Shell from Linuxcommand. I do not deal with permissions often, but I have to do it from time to time and evrytime I have to revisit the relevant documentation, hence I read this part of tutorials carefully. Navigation in the file system and directories and manipulating files were good summaries, but fairly basic. The Input/Output chapter was quite interesting. The chapters on layout of Linux file system were rather technical, so was the tutorial on partitions. I was scratching my head over all those blocks and different drives, but the practical examples made the partition tutorial clearer. However, I still would appreaciate a more realistic scenario and reasons why would I like to have different partitions on one disc.
