BBOSI People/How to set up a BBOSI computer with Ubuntu alternative disk
Installing Ubuntu on a BOSSI Computer
We choose to use an Alternative Ubuntu Disk as it is easier to install on older recycled computers
(Time for a Ubuntu installation is about 2 hours - including add-ons and updates) Watching the computer screen doesn’t speed up the process!
