TRUE. I tried a Ubuntu "Live CD" not too long ago to see what all the hype
was about. It booted fine in my AMD 3.4Ghz + 1-Gig RAM machine that
currently has Windows XP installed. I played around with Ubuntu and it ran
OK. It was running from the CD so I could understand why it wasn't very
zippy. The video was pretty slow using the generic driver from the CD but I
could probably fix that eventually if I wanted to. It saw my NTFS drive
which was neat at the time.
So I'm done playing with Ubuntu and tell it to shutdown and it does. It
tells me to remember to remove the Live CD which I do. The next time that I
reboot my computer it simply doesn't boot. The boot sector or something was
hosed. In the end I had to re-install Windows to FIX whatever it was that
Ubuntu Live CD screwed up.
Yeah - That's a serious "bug" they have there.
