Re: is ubuntu good?

Hello
a update finally got mate installed
I honestly have no idea why it all of a sudden started working but it 
appears to be installed and running ok.
am running it off of my usb external hard drive
the only thing that I can think of that was causing stuff to go wrong 
was when trying it I noticed that there was a partition called reserved 
it was a ntfs format I killed that and redid the installer and it 
worked.On 8/19/2015 1:50 AM, Tony Baechler wrote:
