That's version 5.0.4 Hoary Hedgehog. I am using it right now. Actually
I am using the full install version but I've used the live CD on this
Compaq w/generic hardware as well as an emachine. Works pretty darn
good with very little geekery involved in set-up. I'm mostly pretty
satisfied with the software choices on it (Firefox, GAIM, Evolution,
OpenOffice). I want to try FC5 though and I keep meaning to try to pick
up the CDs from Chuck (Sorry it's taking so long, I keep missing you)
I grabbed the CDs from Juneau Electronics, too for this version of
Ubuntu. It's a pretty trouble-free install and I'd recommend it for
newbies.
