I know nothing about Linux, that being said I was able to get both ubuntu
and kubuntu up and running from the cd. Yes things work differently but
with the support here and elsewhere you can do it. I used an extra hard

say why. Dive in the waters warn and not that deep, now command line is
another story. 8^)
