    I don't care if your world is ending today/ Because I wasn't invited to it anyway/ You said I tasted famous, so I drew you a heart/ But now I'm not an artist I'm a fucking work of art/ I got an F and a C and I got a K too/ And the only thing that's missing is a bitch like U

    Well, I am using Ubuntu as we speak, (Great distro) But the install is supposed to prompt you for account information, maybe you got the install wrong ?

    it asked me something, like setting up anotehr account, besides the admin acct. i clicked no, and went on. then it asked a name, i but my name in. that name shows up in the lower right hand corner, with the time and date.

    You are supposed to click yes, You never want to be logged on as Root full time pointless when you have a terminal.
