What’s Involved in Installing Kubuntu?

This post will walk you through installing Kubuntu Linux onto a computer. In this video tutorial I am installing Kubuntu onto my notebook.

The idea behind these guides and videos is to show people who have no prior knowledge of Linux (like me) how easy it can be to get started with it. I will continue to post more videos to help people who are new to Linux get the basics down and you can learn it along with me.

I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for checking out Pseudorant!

How to Choose a Linux Distribution

If you read my previous article “Microsoft is the Debil!“, than you probably know I am in the process of switching over to Linux. As I mentioned in that article I have no experience what so ever with Linux so I am writing a series of guides to document my first steps to help others who have been considering the switch but are nervous about what it may entail.

There are several considerations I need to make now that I am switching over to Linux. The main consideration is that I will be installing it onto a laptop that me, and my fiancée share so I need to find something she can easily use also.

The link below will take you to the “Linux Distribution Chooser” website:

clipper's remarks: Tutorial on how to install Windows onto Linux. In this guide I walk you through the steps needed to install and configure Virtualbox to create a Virtual Machine that you can install multiple OS's on. For the article I am installing Windows XP onto Kubuntu.

Setting up a Virtual Machine in Kubuntu

A good example for me is that I have been a designer on Windows for so long I NEED to use Photoshop. GIMP is a nice program but I have 10+ years of training in Photoshop and I tend to use it on a daily basis.

This is a good example of where having a virtual machine is useful. Because I am new to Linux myself I can’t tell you if there is a version of Photoshop for Linux or not. But because I have already paid for my license I am going to continue to use this software for as long as possible to get my moneys worth.

So without further delay let’s discuss how to install Windows onto Kubuntu by creating a Virtual Machine.

The first thing you need to do is install “Virtualbox”. You can do this using “Adept Manager”.

K Menu > System > Adept Manager

Once you have Adept Manager open do a search for “Virtualbox”.

Once the program returns search results find:

“Virtualbox-OSE” and click on the program title.
