Do some research and read up on the linux forums. Don't assume it's junk just because you don't know what your doing. There is a bit of a learning curve. I've known way to many people that tried linux and thought it sucked because they didn't take the time to learn and it wasn't windows.
Like stated above, you need to install it from the terminal.
Like how?
And just for the record, people said, its easy and better, and i choose the most easiest of all linux possible, but well, i just proved them wrong when its not.
how are people ment to know this? do some research? thats why i asked here, got some fuckin briains you plonker and their is no terminal to right click it clever clogs
