Kind of a follow up to my last post on using a VM to run Ubuntu for all my desktop stuff. I freshened it up to 11.04, and the installer required all of (and I did actually count them) 6 clicks. It's been a while since I've done a Windows install, but I'm pretty sure even Win7 (which is nice) -- needs 14 or more.I wonder how long an OSX install takes? I guess I'll never know... :-)
Well I thought it was nice at least. 6 clicks, and I have a full install, sensible partitioning, admin accounts setup, all the post-release updates installed, and a minty fresh install -- ready for me to destroy! Plus, with all my account data synced across machines -- it's instantly got all the goodies I need to make use of it.
About the only improvement I could suggest is adding a Tetris game while you install -- ala DVDFlick...Actually, maybe a tower defence clone would be better?
The install took 3 hours! -- 5 minutes for the file copy, and 2:55h for me to battle the hordes in stage 11 of tower defence!
