Best not ask, else we'll be into another 1000 post trolling thread.

I wonder if BB knows what Ubuntu is. In most of his
previous posts, he used Unbuntu instead of Ubuntu
and he wasn't kidding...

You're looking for logic where none exists.

Let's help BB out a bit to find the simplest way to
get into Ubuntu. I think BB should probably try the
portable Ubuntu first as it is run as a Windows app.
From there BB will have access to whatever network
interface on his notebook, and then he can start
learning Linux.Make no mistake, it'll take a bit of
time for BB to get used to Linux; just like Unix
users will take some time to get used to Windows.
