Here we're going to choose our time zone, you can mark areas where you can pick. You'll see
the actual location down here. When you've chosen your time zone hit continue.
Keyboard layouts for most of us the should be fine to use English US for
the keyboard layout. If you've got any of these alternatives keyboard layouts, you will
wanna choose the correct one, otherwise keys may be mapped incorrectly.
I can't really help you determine which one to use, but you can actually type here to test. So, I want to
make sure my my left key under the "A" is a backslash,
and it's not actually, that's weird. I never use that key anyway, I always use the English US.
Let's see if they got English Canada.
We're gonna stick with this even though one is still messed up. We've still got all the
numbers, letters, so that's the most important thing. So, hit continue once
you've chosen the correct keyboard layout base on your keyboard, and now we're going
to set up our user. Computer names can be anything you want, it's a way to identify
your machine both in computer language and if you're looking, for instance on your
router and you're trying to see what machines are connected, the computer's
name will be shown. So, I'm gonna use "Megatron." Choose your username and your
password, and you've got some extra options here, login automatically or
require password to login. This one's more secure. If you throw caution to the wind
you might want to select this option. Now, we're presented with a little
demonstration of what to expect with Ubuntu. You can use these icons to
scroll left & right, this demonstrates the Software Center where you can install
and uninstall and manage software on your computer. It comes with Rhythmbox music
player which is great. I've had no need to use anything else, so. It comes with some
image software (GIMP) you can install it, it's not pre-installed. This is basically
like an open source alternative to Photoshop, and it's got video editors.
Firefox is pre-installed, Chromium you can install, you can also install Flash.
Chromium is an open source version of Google Chrome.
You can also install Google Chrome now, we're going to be going through that in the
next video which is going to be a basic configuration.
You've got LibreOffice pre-installed, one great alternative to LibreOffice is
called WPS Office, and I've actually had the pleasure to try that out recently.
Unfortunately, It doesn't use the ODP format, so it's not going to suit me.
Here's an image of how you can customize your machine. You can set the
background, obviously that's a feature you would expect from an operating system.
You can also make other configurations and we're gonna get to that directly in
the next video. And this is how to get support with Ubuntu. So, Ubuntu has a lot of
great outlets for asking questions, or reporting bugs. There are bugs, you'll
probably not counter any, or if you do the be small and won't really affect you.
We have some links here that we can go to you once we reboot into the
sole operating system, this again is just installer. Community.Ubuntu.com,
they've got forums.Ubuntu.com, and also Ubuntu.com/support.
They've also got chat, I think Freenode is the chat server, they've got their own
channel on there. So, we'll also look at that once we can reboot into the system. So,
for right now I'm going to pause the screen tasks, and I will be back once the
installation is done, and we can have a look at the system itself.
Alright so the installation has been a success, and at this point we need to
restart. So, I'm going to and I'm also going to hover my mouse over this bar,
and select devices, and un-check this disc.
Alright
so this should restart now and take us into the Ubuntu system.
