New question #78132 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78132

anything a n00b to linux should know before installing a fresh ubuntu on a blank computer?

not really that important as it is a freshly built box from spare parts, so i can always start over as many times as needed with no issues at all, but i thought i'd ask.

system:

800mHz celeron
384M RAM
5g HD
1024x768 display
cd writer
2 ethernet cards
1 pci modem
floppy
kbd
mouse
speakers
mic
base system is hp pavilion 6835

got this msg when trying to install
"this kernel requires an x86-64 cpu, but only detected an i686 cpu"
"unable to boot - please select a kernel appropriate for your cpu"
