Ubuntu-First Impression


Since nearly all three of you that occaisonally read this blog think Ubuntu is the best part of the multiverse, I thought I would install it last night.  After the installation that went pretty smooth, I decided to install Webmin.  Here is the difference I see between installing with Ubuntu vs. installing with Fedora.

To install Webmin with Ubuntu:

Step 1 - $apt-get install webmin
you do not have permission

Step 2 - $sudo apt-get install webmin
package not found

Step 3 - go to sourceforege and download webmin
done

Step 4 - Install with Package Installer
dependency libauthen-pam-perl not found

Step 5 - $apt-get install libauthen-pam-perl
you do not have permission

Step 6 - create a root account so you don't have to remember to type stupid sudo with every stupid command

Step 7 - #apt-get install libauthen-pam-perl
package not found

Step 8 - Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove comments from 4 lines
WTF Ubuntu?

Step 9 - #apt-get install libauthen-pam-perl
package not found

Step 10 - Google libauthen-pam-perl

Step 11 - Find mirror and dowload and install dependency

Step 12 - Run package installer for Webmin
dependency is not satisfiable: libmd5-perl

Step 13 - Google libmd5-perl

Step 14 - Find mirror and download and install dependency

Step 15 - Run package installer for webmin
downloads two more packages of something and installs

Step 16 - Run Webmin.
Hangs browser

Step 17 - Now that it is installed, switch to FC6 box, run Webmin and connect to Ubuntu machine.
Success.

Here is how I installed Webmin under Fedora Core 6:

Step 1 - #yum install webmin
done.

My first impression of Ubuntu - It should have a giant clock.

UBUNTU = LINUX VISTA
