Thanks, Robert (wow, that's fast) I'll pick it up tomorrow. I should wait until then, but I'm Torrenting it right now and will probably install tonight, and give results tomorow. In addition, I'll VM your Kubuntu release, and compare. I'd like to use Ubuntu for kids' machines, but we need to do a side-by-side comparison on an actual machine that's spec'd for Byteworks. Theresa mentioned that the Ubuntu package was noticeably slower on a sample machine. Also, the Debian package contains a lot of stuff, which, for people with 28/56k download speed is fine because you'd rather have it pre-installed rather than force them to download. I have some rants regarding the Ubuntu upgrades. For example, a couple of nights ago, I had my GNOME fried by an "upgrade", and I wasted 2-3 hours trying to fix that. The Ubuntu forums are wonderful (that's where I found the fix), but at the same time, there really *is* something to be said for a stable upgrade process. :) Here's my Ubuntu experiences, please keep in mind that this is a page in work, and desperately needs reformatting and more details: http://notesmine.com/ubuntu --- In [email protected], Robert Citek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Robert Citek wrote: > > nneff wrote: > >> As far as installing / upgrading one of our PIII's, I'm not familiar > >> at all with sysadmin kinda stuff.
