Its been quite a while since I posted anything. I guess the hectic schedules are taking its toll. But nonetheless I finally got my hands on the DVD edition of Ubuntu Hardy Heron 64 bit and with my fingers crossed installed it on my system.
All I have to say is that I’m quite impressed. Every single bug I had earlier in Gutsy Gibbon has not made its way over to Hardy Heron. The Install procedure went through without a hitch and I believe that Ubuntu is getting really good with its Operating System over time.
While I was doing the install I took a few screenshots and also wrote up a document showing the Install procedure , but trust me when I say that the Installation was very easy. You can download the Install guide from the link below which I have included. if anyone feels that I should add something to it or someone does have something to add to it . Please let me know. I’ll be more than happy to included it.
Download it from here:

I’m glad you’ve had a good experience with the HERON. May I suggest you burn off a few copies of it and give one to each of your friends. If sufficient of us do the same, Windows will banished from the face of the earth and will only be found in museums of obsolete computer technology.

@Chrles : I already have distributed 18 copies
. Quite a few people I know are running Ubuntu Hardy Heron or gutsy Gibbon on their computers .

Well I installed Hardy Heron too. But then my Windows crashed and it overwrote the GRUB. Now I guess, when I am not lazy enough, I will have to figure out a way to get my bootloader in order.
@Chrles : Well I did lend my CD to my neighbour but thats it. Maybe its a good idea to distribute and contribute to the greater good of mankind.
But I still feel, no matter what we do, MS still has some domination over the market and certain programs will run in Windows itself. But the times are quickly changing.
Hey. I have a core 2 duo and 2gig RAM, will I able to run the 64bit edition as well? And whats more in the DVD edition? Do they send the DVD by post?

@Ankit: yes you can run the 64 bit edition. The DVD edition has more files which results in lesser downloading for folks with bad Internet connections I guess. And I don’t recall Ubuntu mailing DVD editions of the item. but if you are in Kerala let me know Ill try to send one to you or have one of my friends get you a copy
