It will come up on my XP box but 10.04 can't.

I got 12.04 LTS but have had trouble updating Vbox.
I'm wanting to run it in vBox instead of Live Booting from the CD.

3GB RAM here (in the XP box, not my head).

Last week my friend got a eBook reader (Android OS) and said he was
trying to download game apps to it.

I learned Android is a Linux Distro and told him that.

He's not sure if he wants to sell the Ubuntu box or not yet.

I got a copy of the Users Guide .pdf from the eBook maker so I can help
him if I can.

BP> EV> Anyone out there?   TIA!

BP>besides that what can i help with ? :=)

If I have any more questions or comments I'll post them.

Thanks for the reply letting me know this conference is being read.
