Intro and USB prep

0:00 For the past 3 months, I've been researching and rebuilding AI servers from scratch, and I've developed a foolproof step-by-step tutorial that anyone can follow, and I'll have you up and running with an AI within an hour. Whether you've struggled with AI in the past or you're just setting one up for the first time, this guide is for you. You don't need any AI experience. You only need a basic understanding of hardware. Let's dive in, work together, and build your own lowcost AI workhorse.

0:22 Before we begin, you'll need a USB drive that is at least 8 gigs in size. Make sure that there is nothing on the drive because we're going to be wiping it in just a couple minutes. We also need to grab two things off the internet. Go ahead and go to Ubuntu's website and download the latest version of their Linux distribution, which is Umbu. I don't really know how to say that. It's either Ubuntu or Ubuntu. It's it's Linux.

That's how we're going to install Linux on the AI computer. Insert the USB drive and open Rufus. Select your USB drive from the destination and then browse for your Umbu iOS that you downloaded. When you have both the destination and the iOS selected, click start.

1:39 Select the default settings that pop up and you'll see a warning telling you that the USB is about to be wiped. Click okay. This process can take anywhere from a couple minutes to half an hour. But once the USB stick is done, eject the drive and then we can start working on building your AI. Now, I know
