Could you post the output from

cat /proc/cpuinfo

This would help to assure that you don't get a binary which requires
too advanced SSE instructions. In general it is easiest to build from
source, so assuming you have build-essential installed on Ubuntu you
can just download the source tarball and run "make" and come back
after a couple hours and Sage should have finished building. It is
easier than it sounds and you will get a binary with optimum
performance and tuning for your computer. If you run into any trouble
just let us know and we will do our best to help you fix the problem.

If you want to run Sage on Windows you need to install the VMWare
player (which is free as in beer) from the VMWare website. But this
requires that you have at least PNI (hence the question about the /
proc/cpuinfo output) since the current Sage 3.2.3 VMWare image was
build with PNI.

Cheers,

Michael
