Jackie,
I did boot the CD with Ubuntu OK but the system locks up the computer
after about 5 minutes.
Opened Firefox from the Applications bar. Did a google search for news
and displayed the CNN page.
Then the system just locked up and I could not even shut it down without
using the OFF button on the
Computer Case. This main computer seems to be pretty fussy. Vista Home
Premium works great right now.
I may try Ubuntu from the boot CD sometime on my laptop where the
attached hardware is not complex.
