Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot Installation

With a freshly installed FreeBSD 8.2-Release on my system, I knew that I had a lot of tinkering to do on the extremely bare bones system. With that in mind, I also chose to install a meta-distribution of Linux that had everything set up from the get go, so as to have a working environment while I slowly tweaked FreeBSD.

Enter Ubuntu Linux 11.10 “Oneiric Ocelot”

Negative reviews of the product from other users did not affect my decision to use Oneiric one bit. Never having frequently used the old Gnome 2 GUI, I hardly found Gnome 3’s GUI to be offensive - in fact, I found it quite easy to use. With Oneiric, all of my devices were detected, 3D graphics acceleration was working splendidly, and web-browsing was smooth as could be. Additionally, with the help of this site, my Oneiric installation was also able to fully utilize my FreeBSD’s zpools.
