I put Cinnamon on Ubuntu for a friend new to Linux. There were a couple
of what looked to be usable tutorials on-line and I followed one of
them. It was pretty easy and went off without a hitch. I don't recall
which one it was. If you don't want to wait for a presentation, Google
ubuntu and cinnamon and see if you can't find the details. As I recall
I just copy/pasted the various steps and it worked.
Incidentally, he was having problems with getting the wireless card and
the printer working right. He said that "it fixed itself" eventually.
I suspect the system was configured to upgrade automatically. In any
case, we have an impressed believer in Linux now.
Jim.
