I gave up on ubuntu and decided to try debian. They say that one good thing about it is that it's commands are similar to Unix so that it's easier to make the transition over to Unix.

The installation seemed to go good.I chose the default desktop setup since I didn't really know what the differences in the installations types are. It is now downloading some updates via http. Now I just have to do a lot of reading to figure out how to work this thing.
