I will also load it onto my mother-in-laws laptop. She calls me and complains about vista so much, this will stop the problem hopefully! Thanks to all for all the input, good and bad.

My old P4 3.0, which was collecting dust, and does not meet Vista's hardware requirements, runs exceptionally smooth on Ubuntu. Unfortunately, I've run into problems with incompatible software and drivers. My printer won't print, and forget about re-installing MS Office. So my system makes a nice surfing computer. But I'm going to need a fully functional Windows system soon ... looking forward to Windows 7. Ubuntu is a nice OS to use when dusting out an old PC.

That will NOT happen until the average non-techie can install the software by clicking on a "setup" or "install" icon, (no "image" or "iso" files that average users are totally unfamiliar with), and until the average non-techie user can actually use the software WITHOUT having to tweak it, and without having the VERY steep learning curve that currently exists. Just download the program or buy a CD, click install, then use it. THAT is when open-source software will become a force to be reckoned with. :-| IMHO, The stated purpose of Ubuntu (and other Linux) was to bring open-source software to the masses.

I can run most if not all Microsoft Windows apps and I've entirely ditched Windows (still can run it in VirtualBox). All of this and I'm 12. Hey all,

The console scares me. Which is funny, cause dos never intimidated me. I will admit that the setup is getting easier and easier as Ubuntu evolves. But there are still lots of things that I don't know how to do and I find it frustrating trying to figure it out. If linux ever wants to rival microsoft, they will have to make their software dummy proof. I don't want to learn how to program linux just to use it.
