Considering some last-minute issues before installation

Installing Ubuntu from a LiveDVD or USB stick

Installing openSUSE as a personal desktop

Booting for the first time

In the early days of Linux, you just about needed a degree in Computer Science to figure out how to get Linux working on a PC. Fortunately for us, these days the graphical installation is now quite easy to perform, and will be familiar to users coming from another graphical operating system, such as Microsoft Windows. This chapter provides the details you need to know to get a Linux distribution up and running on your PC.

While different Linux distributions use different installer scripts, they are all actually pretty smart. You may find that you don't see exactly the same screens that I show in this chapter, but the general concepts should all be the same. If you see something unfamiliar or don't see one that I cover here, don't panic. The installer is just adjusting what it offers based on the hardware in your system and what software you chose to install.
