Short answer: Yes, yes and yes :-)
I'm sorry you had trouble, I don't know the specs of those pc's but if
you can get ubuntu to work then use that. Just plug the Signalink
interface in and have a look, if it works as its supposed to then you
should be able to use it right away. Try the fldigi binary, should work
as is. But, Ubuntu 6.06 is pretty old now. I have one pc using 7.10 here
and it works fine. 7.10 should support more hardware and that could be
just what the signalink needs.

P.s. Just remembered I was VK2MIM for a while 1990, great fun.
