As I promised, I've registered at ubuntu. With vacation and the SimStation up first, it will be several weeks before I can plow in.
When I found it had a good chance of running my audiophile usb, and possibly my ESI Pro audio, that did it.
I am also hopeful for wireless g support.
First project will be an emachines laptop whose Windows went south and I could not find the restore disks. Nice widescreen laptop, but I find myself wretching at having to pay BG ONCE AGAIN for the privilige of running his bug-ridden POS (pitiful operating system).
It will be my first new adventure since Commodore went south and I promised myself not to get hooked on anything not mainstream again. I've been watching Linux (and other things) now for a long time and I think the time is now. I am sure it will be frustrating, but so was soldering my first 6502 Sinclair Z-80. Yer as young as yer OS...

One more thing...does Linux use any virtual HDD? To me, that is the SINGLE (of many) worst aspect of the Empire. Insane. Archaic. Something only an idiot or saboteur would do.
