How difficult is it to install Ubuntu?

My little five year old daughter had been snuggled in my arms while I was talking to this neighbor. She had been listening closely. When we got home, she said, “Mom, I can install Ubuntu. I bet I can. Can I try? Can I try?”

As a mother who wants to foster her children’s interests in all things technical and scientific, I dropped the loaf of french bread and turned on a nearby desktop. I did a quick back-up and wiped the system. I handed my daughter Anna an install CD and said, “Here you go.”

With a little bit of help from her six year old brother, Anna successfully installed Ubuntu on a desktop. When she was done, I came in and asked, while trying to squelch my pride, “So, sweetie, how did it go?”

Anna’s reply, “Easy baceasy! That old foggy is just being silly. I can install Ubuntu, so he can install it too.”

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.

That's so cool!  Ubuntu is very easy to install, but those were exceptionally bright children as well.

The thing that turned me back onto windows was that I missed being able to play SFC.  Also, my current uptime record is held on this machine now, running WinXP Pro x64.  37 days, 2 hours and counting!

I was never here, you were never here, this conversation never took place, and you most certainly did not see me.
